The Centru region is the historic heart of Transylvania, characterized by its cultural diversity and stunning mountain landscapes. It is home to iconic medieval cities such as Brașov and Sibiu, the latter a former European Capital of Culture, alongside a remarkable Saxon heritage including UNESCO-listed fortified churches. The regional economy is strongly anchored in cultural and mountain tourism, as well as the automotive industry centered around Brașov. Its unique identity is shaped by significant Hungarian-speaking communities in Harghita and Covasna counties, which together with the wider area preserve distinct traditions and customs.
