The Cistercian Monastery of Cârța is one of Romania's most significant medieval landmarks and the easternmost Cistercian abbey in Europe. Founded around 1205-1206 by Cistercian monks from the Igriș Abbey, it played a key role in introducing Gothic architecture to Transylvania. Today, visitors can explore the impressive abbey ruins, the Gothic church, and the historic cemetery, all offering a unique glimpse into medieval monastic life.
