The Cistercian Abbey of Carta is placed in the Carta village. It can be easily reached from DN1 (Braşov - Sibiu) by following the indicators. The abbey is unique in Romania and the easternmost one in Europe. It was built around 1220 by Cistercian monks. You can visit the monastery ruins, which represent a really peaceful place. Between the old walls of the original church there is a small cemetery of German soldiers from the First World War. The choir from the original monastery is now transformed in a small but very nice church. In the nearby of the ruins there is a museum, an info point and a restaurant with good food and prices. Carta Cistercian Abbey is a must-see place when you visit Transylvania or Sibiu area.
