CONDITION OF THE MONUMENTS

the municipality are: The Silverer’s House, Ion Zidaru
House, Sugalete, the wooden church “Sfintii
Arhangheli Mihail si Gavriil”, while the monuments
currently in renovation are: The Evangelical Church,
Sugalete/House 13.
Restoration works are few and insufficiently supported
financially; there are no programmes/projects for
rehabilitation as of yet and no involvement of private
capital in preservation; there is a lack of experienced
specialists needed to work on historical monuments.
Bistrita defines an urban area in terms of the
construction of the precinct wall. The urban space is
representative and organised around the church, from
where the streets begin and head towards the town
gates. The area of the former medieval fortress has a
surface area of approximately 41.45 ha.
The existing buildings (a large number of them being
historical monuments) are in an advanced state of
disrepair and have no historical plaques.
Tourist interest could be stimulated by preserving the
authenticity of local monuments and its attractiveness.
The preservation and transmission of the historical
values to future generations is a duty for the
inhabitants and the responsible authorities.
