The city of Sibiu is an Orthodox archiepiscopal see and a Lutheran episcopal see and has a law college. Among the buildings of historical interest
are a 14th-century Gothic church containing a museum and a library of more than 100,000 volumes.
Sibiu is of Roman origin, having been founded as the colony of Cibinium. In the 12th century, German settlers from Nürnberg, called Saxons, formed a
community in Transylvania and founded Sibiu as the center of the region. The city continues to have a significant population of German descent.
Sibiu is beautiful; indeed a delight for the eyes.
Eerie eaves shaped like eyes peer down from the buildings that line the narrow, medieval streets. At the center of it all stands the proud
fortress-church, built by the original German settlers in Gothic sturdiness. History surrounds Sibiu like a defensive wall.
The outlines of Sibiu's many churches have dominated her sky line since early times.
Sibiu is dotted with many areas of parkland, intimate gardens and attractive tree-lined boulevards. Sibiu's pulling power is stronger in spring -
the season of chestnuts in blossom, and the start of various festivals.
THE HISTORIC CENTRE
The city has two easily walkable levels: the 'upper town', which contains most of Sibiu's historic sights, and the 'lower tower', which is a charming
wasteland of old houses and cobbled squares.
The Citadel of Sibiu was for centuries one of the largest and best fortified in Europe.
The Citadel was surrounded by walls and defence towers, some of these are still very well preserved and give us a clue of how they looked like hundreds
of years ago.
The third fortification of walls were built in 14th century and were consolidated in the 17th century.
