Homorod is a commune in Braşov County, Romania, located 58 km from Sighisoara and 34 km from Odorheiu Secuiesc. It got its name from the Homorod River that goes through it and from the valley form (concave) where is situated the location. It is composed of three villages: Homorod, Jimbor and Mercheaşa. The population of the village is approx. 1,383 people, of which 306 are Hungarian. The little village is very quiet, and it is famous because of its fortificated church, which can be visited any day of the year. The villagers started building the church in the 13th century. In the 16th century the church was rebuilt, and became a wonderful fortress church, with wall paintings date back to the XIII, XIV, XV century. If the evangelic church is close, you can appeal to the bell ringer, who is very kindly, and he had the key.
