Ten Years in Transylvania -Through My Lens

elcome to Transylvania, a barely known pocket of Europe's earth lying in Romania. It was part of the Hungarian Kingdom for most of it's thousand year history. The area now called Transylvania became part of the Roman empire in 107 AD, overrun by Visigoths. Huns, Avars and Slavs from 3 - 10th century. St. Stephen converted to Christianity in 1003 and brought it to the pagan tribes of Hungary.
Transylvania, or Erdély in Hungarian, is a historical region in the southeast part of the Carpathian Basin. In recent history it has been part of Romania since 1921. The signing of the Treaty of Trianon at the end of WWI, pushed the Hungarian border about 500 kilometers to the west giving about 2/3 of Hungary's land to Romania. These Hungarians still live there. Transylvania is home to Europe's largest ethnic minority, the Hungarians of Romania. Here cultures have clashed and coexisted for centuries.
It's most defining borders are the Carpathian Mountains on the north and east, the Transylvanian Alps on the south. As a melting pot of isolated traditional customs Transylvania has preserved a great many cultures, telling vestiges of the past. It consists of complex ethnic composition of various cultures -Hungarian, Romanian, German, Saxon, Gypsy. Gyimes - the region at the foot of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains - is said to be the last transitional home of the conquering Magyars on their way to the Carpathian Basin. The Catholic church allowed a great deal of tolerance towards peasant traditions, especially music, sometimes inviting it into the church.
Of the many places in Transylvania I found myself, 1 always seem to gravitate to the following four regions:
Kalotaszeg - a historical, rich ethnological region of Hungarian speaking villages west of Kolozsvár. The region is famous throughout Europe for its rich colorful folk art of clothing, architecture and woodcarving.
Székelyföld - a region in the northeast comer of Transylvania it is considered the outer limit of the Hungarian speaking part of the Carpathian Basin. Inhabited by the Székely's, original 'border guards' for the Hungarian Empire, it also has a rich folk culture. Vissza
