Question: What is Transylvania now called? I know it’s a part of Romania, but what is the newer name? We were told it’s still called Transylvania, and it’s a Hungarian speaking region of Romania
Response: It is still called Transylvania. It is a large western province of Romania dotted with fortified churches, castles, and historic places. Transylvania is also host to some of Romania’s most interesting cities, like Timisoara, Arad, Sibiu, Brasov, and Sighisoara, to name just a few. It is not Hungarian speaking, however does have a few Hungarian villages, some of which speak primarily Hungarian.
