ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the fascicles so far published in the Historic Towns Atlas of Romania: Sighisoara, Targoviste, Suceava, Sebes and Campulung. Conversely, in Romania, the division of properties into courtyards and gardens and also the particular shapes of buildings are of a lesser importance, mainly on account of numerous contemporary changes. The general impression concerning the situation in Romania offered by the atlas is that of a remarkable diversity. The atlas shows the following: Targoviste 19 churches, Campulung 11 churches and Suceava 10 churches. In Walachia, at Campulung, the topographical evidence is much less clear and in no quarter can we detect irregular field units of the kind encountered in Suceava. As supplementary, comparative material for Transylvania, works published on the evolution of medieval urbanism have been used, as have a number of papers published in Historia Urbana for Walachia and Moldova.
