TRANSYLVANIAN ETHNIC MOSAIC ENHANCING LOCAL CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: The current study focuses on culture in the context of Transylvania's ethnic mosaic. Transylvania's geographical location, as well as the range of natural, social-historical, economic, and political factors, have resulted in a high level of ethnic, religious, linguistic, spiritual, and cultural diversity. All of these features are actual elements that give the inhabitants of this historical province of Romania personality. This study is concerned with the ethnic structure of this Romanian province, which has evolved over time, as well as the manner minorities have coexisted with the Romanian majority population. We find it fascinating to see how the culture of minorities has been shaped by the culture of the dominant population over time, and vice versa. Furthermore, the region's ethnic variety is a result of the region's numerous cultural patterns, which has significant social, economic, and political ramifications.Based on the statistical data collected, our analysis will focus on Hungarians, Germans and Roma in Transylvania. On the other hand, this ethnic, cultural, religious mosaic constitutes a particular point of attraction for cultural tourism in the area, arousing in recent years a growing interest in cultural - creative tourism, encouraged by the presence of medieval architecture, specific culinary art, music and dance and not least the folk craftsmen, who are involved in the process of tourist development of Transylvania.
