Sebeș

Hungarian  Szasz Sebes , German  Mühlbach 

      town, Alba județ (county), west-central Romania. It lies in the valley of the Sebeș River, on a major Romanian highway. The site had Neolithic and Daco-Roman settlements before Sebeș was refounded in the 12th century by German settlers. Sebeș was an important town in medieval Transylvania. By the 14th century it had survived a Tatar sacking and had been refortified, but in 1438 it fell to the Turks.

      The Evangelical church in Sebeș is a monumental work of Romanesque and Gothic architecture completed over a period of two centuries. The Zápolya House, now containing a district museum, is where the Diet of Transylvania was summoned in 1556 and 1600. Modern Sebeș is an industrial town, with leather, textile, and wood industries. Pop. (2007 est.) 29,225.
