Transylvania Building Culture (animated)

There are however some differences between the morphology of the villages.

Typically, dwellings were situated at the end of each plot, overlooking the street with an entrance delimiting and closing off the property.

The first strip of the plot is occupied by the family home or the residential nucleus strictly speaking. [More info](https://esg.pt/3dpast/platform/transylvania)
