Seica Mica: Biserica evanghelică fortificata.
Seica Mica is a small village with about 1800 inhabitants situated 48 km north of Sibiu.
The village of Seica Mica has nothing to do with the Saxon settlement in 1280.The first settlement dates from the Bronze Age and the name seems to be of Slavic origin, from the ground (the word Slavic for salt).
In 1605 there was the attack of Stephan Toeroek's outlawes that ravaged the village and a lot of people were killed. In 1705 the settlement became the headquarters of the imperial troops.
The church built in the 14th century and modified around 1500, is well preserved and protected by two rows of walls.
To the west, the church is guarded by a multi-story tower, the upper ones being more recent. Once the choir was tightened, there were horizontal openings, used to throw pitch, stones and boiling water over the attacking enemies. Above these openings were made circular holes provided for firearms, guns or guns capable of reaching more distant targets.
