Evangelical Church

Bistriţa’s number one landmark is the Evangelical Church, whose 76m Gothic tower dominates its main square. Construction began in the 14th century, and Italian architect Petrus Italus de Lugano gave it a Renaissance-style makeover in 1563, adding its portals. It’s worth climbing the tower for views over the town.
