Bistrița is one of the seven Saxon fortresses in Transylvania. This city has an interesting history which can still be read through the architectural style of the many buildings and religious complexes.

The evangelical church is the emblem of Bistrița. It is located in the center of the city. It is an architectural monument representative of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance style in Transylvania. The church tower is perched 75 meters high. It is one of the tallest towers in Romania.

You can go to the top of the church by taking an elevator. Admiring the panorama of a city helps you better understand its layout and also helps you get your bearings.

Bistrița is located in a wide depression, surrounded by rolling hills that dominate the landscape. The settlement was founded when the region in the north-eastern corner of Transylvania, which at the beginning of the Middle Ages lay between the royal possessions, was settled by settlers from Hungary, but above all by groups of Flemish, Walloons, Saxons and Bavarians, who were later grouped together under the name "Transylvanian Saxons". Through the Golden Bull of the Saxons of 1224, they were endowed with a number of rights and freedoms that brought them high social status and economic privileges. The first mention of the place dates back to 1241, when in the codes of the Echternach monastery, between the settlements destroyed by the Mongols, "oppidum Nosna" is mentioned, the name given by the settlers to the settlement founded on the banks of the Bistrita river.
