Sibiu City Tour: Brukenthal Palace, Evangelical Cathedral |
|
|
The medieval atmosphere and historical treasures of Sibiu make it well worth the visit
| Overview | |
|
The ancient city of Sibiu has one of the largest concentrations of tourist attractions in all of Romania. The largest and wealthiest of the walled cities built by the Transylvanian Saxons in the 12th century, the medieval appeal of the place has been wonderfully preserved. Visit an expansive open-air museum where the humble peasant settlements of Romania are recreated, and learn about the hardscrabble nature of life in the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Explore a palace-cum-museum from the 18th century, where medieval weaponry, rare artwork, and ancient Romanian literature are on display. Admire the Gothic splendor of the Evangelical Cathedral—which towers above the town at a height of 74 meters—and learn how the son of Dracula met his bloody fate.
