Sebes
Sebeş (Hungarian: Szászsebes, German: Mühlbach) is a town in Alba county, Romania, located on the Sebeş river .
The town was populated by Dacians and then Romans, to be colonized by German settlers in the 12th century, when it became an important town in medieval Transylvania. The city walls were reinforced after the Tatar invasion, but it was occupied in 1438 by the Ottomans. The diet of Transylvania met in the Zápolya House (now a museum) in Sebeş two times, in 1556 and 1600.
