Sibiu

Sibiu has served as a cultural crossroads within Transylvania since the Middle Ages. The region centres on the historic city of Sibiu, founded by Transylvanian Saxons and long known in German as Hermannstadt. Its old town retains the Grand Square, the Council Tower and the Evangelical Cathedral, while the Cibin River runs through the city before joining the Olt. Beyond the urban core, Sibiu County reaches from rolling Transylvanian uplands towards the Southern Carpathians, creating a transition from cultivated valleys to mountain country. Sibiu was a European Capital of Culture in 2007, reflecting its museums, performance spaces and multicultural heritage. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Sibiu.
