Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, the Church on the Hill (Biserica din Deal) stands in a commanding position atop the 1,378-foot (420-meter) summit of School Hill in Sighisoara. Accessible via a covered stairway, this austere Gothic church houses remnants of 15th-century frescoes and a crypt. Visitors can explore these historical elements and enjoy sweeping panoramas of Sighisoara’s medieval citadel from its elevated vantage point.
