Medieval Towns
Sighisoara
Sighisoara, which Vlad Tepes called home, is one of the most beautiful towns in the heart of Transylvania. German architectural influences are visible throughout the entire city. Sighisoara was for several centuries a military and political stronghold. One of its most famous attractions is the Clock Tower (Council Tower), built in the 14th Century. This was the control tower of the main gate of the 2,500 foot long defensive wall. The tower has seven foot thick walls and was used to store ammunition, food reserves, archives and the city's treasures. The clock was placed in the tower in the 17th Century. Highlights include: Guild Tower, Venetian House (built in the 13th Century), Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) House, Antler House, Wooden Covered Staircase, Hill Church, Hermann Oberth Square.
Sibiu
Few Romanian cities are as pleasant as Sibiu.
It possesses a history of more than 800 years.
Sibiu has been designated the title of European Cultural Capital 2007, an honour it shares with Luxemburg.
Sibiu as European Capital of Culture in 2007 aims to open gates through which the city's rich cultural landscape and diverse life will meet that of Europe.
This represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a Romanian city.
