Sibiu
1. Sibiu
Sibiu is an important city in Transylvania, and it is situated near the
geographical centre of Romania, about 20 km from the Fagaras Mountains. Sibiu
was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels, known in German as
the Siebenburgen, built in the 12th century by German settlers. In the 14th
century, the city was already an important trade centre, and from the 1860s
became the Metropolitan seat.
2. The Large Square (Piata Mare)
Right next to the Lutheran Cathedral is
the large square (Piata Mare), which
has existed since 1366. It’s the very heart of
the old medieval city and it has a lively
atmosphere with buzzing cafés and
restaurants.
3. The Eyes of Sibiu
While there are many things to see in Sibiu, one
thing in particular caught my eye: the staring houses.
They’re always open and always looking. In the tall houses
there are normally two eyes, but some of them have three,
four or even five eyes.
4. The Hidden St. John of Nepomuk
Today, it’s placed inside a courtyard, but once upon a
time it was standing proud in the Large Square for all to see. To
save it from the communists who wanted to destroy it, it was
hid here (right next to the Large Square).
