Located on National Road 13 and E 60, at 20 km north of Brasov and 100 km from Sighisoara, is the town Feldioara. Feldioara is located at 40 km from the Bucegi Mountains, 30 km from Postavaru Massif, 45 km from the Piatra Craiului and 10 km from forests Mountains Persian. The settlement has a unique street structure  in Barsei land.

 

The settlement has a long history, with beginnings in the Neolithic age. Archaeological excavations have revealed a rich inventory, mainly painted Ceramics of Ariujd type. Systematic researches have shown a continuity of life until the beggining of the Middle Ages, with the objects of real documentary value: greek and macedonian coins, roman gold spoons with imperial symbols dating from IVth century P.C. The village is mentioned in documents in 1240 under the name of Castrum Sancte Maria. We know that, before this date, this has been the residence of Teutonic knights of King Andrew II of Hungary. They stayed only 14 years (1211 to 1225), but they did, obviously with the locals help, to build a fortress in the order's establishment. Evolution of the settlement is marked by the documents mentioned by these dates: 1370 Castrum Marie, and Villa (1378), Our Oppidum (Regis) 1392, Civitas Nostra (Regis) 1413 Civitas again Oppidum 1427, 1808 City of land and, in 1854, Feldioara. Since the end of XIV century, Feldioara as the gets the right to become a trade point from the Hungarian king Sigismund of Luxemburg , being then a fairly long period, one of the most important settlements of the Barsei country .

 

Most important monuments, heritage buildings are medieval fortress (probably sec. XII), Evangelical Church (XIII century), the Orthodox Church (1788) and the monument dedicated to the 39 young people from Brasov who died in the battle that took place here between the prince of Transylvania, Gabriel Bathory, and Brasov people, in 1612.

 

Citadel, of which there are only ruins, is located in the southern extremity of the plateau that was Feldioara. The territory is bounded by a defense ditch, not too deep, dug in medieval times. The fortress, which has a late medieval look, characteristic to the  fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, still holds the 2 towers that are still intact between the ruins, linked to the defense walls.

 

Near the city there is a beautiful gothic church, built in XIII-XV centuries, well preserved until today.
