Abstract

Archeological observations on the St. Stephan Church of Baia Mare. Preliminary results (abstract) The St. Stephan church, demolished during the 19th century, was the most important architectural monument of Gothic style in the region. The parish church was located in the city center, on a square adjacent to the city center. The edifice had three naves and an elongated, pentagonal altar. In the southwestern corner of the nave was built the tower, called Stephen Tower, the only structure preserved to this day from the church. The archaeological excavations were started in three campaigns, between 2012 and 2014. The researches preceded respectively accompanied the rehabilitation works of the park near St. Stephen’s Tower. During the research the remnants of the former parish church were revealed and thus, the main building phases could be established. To the east from the church, another two church buildings were identified, which are demolished today, but both of them are of medieval origins: St. Martin and St. Catherine. A total of 804 archaeological complexes have been identified. Besides the ones related to the medieval churches, the most significant number of complexes, around 500, are the graves of the cemetery surrounding the churches. These are datable to the 14th and 18th centuries. A third category of complexes identified in the excavation are those belonging to the wooden constructions, datable earlier than the parish church, but not older than the beginning of the 13th century. The exhibition offers an insight on the most important grave-goods discovered, and regards them as sources and starting point of the social history of the town Baia Mare.
