Misterul „oamenilor roșii” de la Mănăstirea Cârța. Povestea „amăgirii demonice” care a ajuns faimoasă în Europa medievală

The Cârța Monastery, a significant medieval site in Romania, is steeped in history and mystery, including tales of 'red men' linked to supernatural events. Founded in the 13th century, it influenced Transylvanian architecture and was part of the Cistercian order's expansion. Historical documents reveal controversies surrounding its establishment and the local population. A notable legend recounts the appearance of small, red-clad figures on red horses, which caused panic among locals. This story reflects the medieval imagination and the Cistercians' impact on the region's culture and agriculture, as they introduced advanced farming techniques and Gothic architecture.
