Sibiu

The Cibin River defines the setting of Sibiu — flowing along the southern side of the historic centre, it anchors a Transylvanian city whose streets rise toward the old Upper Town. Founded by German settlers in the 12th century, Sibiu became one of the leading towns of medieval Transylvania and retains a notably cohesive walled core. Piața Mare is framed by substantial merchant houses and the Baroque Brukenthal Palace, home to the Brukenthal National Museum. Nearby, the Council Tower links the Great and Small Squares, while the steep roofs with their small dormer openings, known locally as the Eyes of Sibiu, give the centre its recognisable profile.
