Celebrating the Rose. Rașnov, Romania
June 2011
On june I was invited to participate on a workshop organized by Art & Heritage which took place on the city of Rașnov, Transylvania.
"Rosenau, influenced by the German word "Rose", nowadays Rașnov, is a city located about 15 Km from Brașov, on the road that links Wallachia and Transylvania. Rașnov citadel was built around the year 1215 by the Teutonic Knights and it was mentioned for the first time in 1331.
Nowadays Rașnov fortress is one of the fascinating cultural sites from Romania. In order to promote the site and to make its history "alive", City Hall of Rașnov, together with European Institute for Cultural Routes and Art & Heritage Association are organizing a workshop dedicated to the promotion of cultural heritage values for the region."
With the possibility of enter into the fortress in the middle of the night, thing that is not possible for a common visitor, I tried to get directly to the heart, something that is hidden in the dark.
