Lisa (German: Lissa) is a commune located in Romania, Braşov County, in the Făgăraş area. It is well-known in the area for its Winter Holidays customs (Ceata de Feciori).
The commune of Lisa is composed of three villages: Lisa, Breaza and Pojorta.
The well-known Romanian writer Octavian Paler was born in Lisa, in 1926, where he graduated the primary school.
Lisa, Braşov
Lisa has a museum called La Valtori, which hosts a 100-year old installation for creating traditional wool blankets. The installation is powered with water from Lisa River.
Nearby Lisa a visitor can also find the Sâmbăta de Sus Monastery, and in Breaza, 4 km to the south, the remains of a medieval fortress.
During the 1950s, the village was severely oppressed by the communist regime, as a group of fighters against communism were active in the region. Many lost their lives or were imprisoned by the communist authorities. See the story of Ion Gavrilă Ogoranu, and the long list of fighters from Lisa.
La Voltore in Lisa. Romania doesn’t get any more authentic than this, La Valtore is a traditional carpet production factory in the village of Lisa. The entire production is based on water power, and it’s fascinating to watch. First the carpets are submerged into a tub in the river for softening, then put on a cylinder to pull threads, and finally heated to tighten the weave – using only water power!
It’s almost a lost piece of Romanian culture. Seeing how much work goes into it, I’m amazed these carpets don’t cost more. There’s a small shop on site where you can buy the carpets.
