Sfântu Gheorghe has served as the administrative seat of Covasna County in eastern Transylvania since 1968. The town lies on the Olt River, in a basin framed by the Eastern Carpathians, and is known in Hungarian as Sepsiszentgyörgy. Its public life reflects Székely traditions, while Romanian and Hungarian culture meet in this county capital. The Székely National Museum, founded in 1875 and housed in an early-20th-century building designed by Károly Kós, presents the region’s ethnography, archaeology and history. Central streets, local markets and cultural institutions give the compact centre a distinctly regional character.
