Medieval heritage from Târgşoru Vechi. An archaeological overview of 50 years of research

Summary/Abstract: One of the important Wallachian medieval towns, Târgşoru was, at a certain moment, the most involved in the commercial relations with Braşov. Due to this Târgşoru was first mentioned in medieval documents 600 years ago. Its medieval ruins, and the vestiges of three churches in particular, were those to first draw the attention of historians and architects. The archaeologists started their work here more than half a century ago. Those investigations succeeded to give us a better understanding over many aspects of the old town of Târgşor. In the present paper we try to briefly present the development of the archaeological research at the site, to identify the investigated medieval monuments and to draw a possible scenario for the chronological evolution of the medieval town.
