Sighisoare, Romania
Built in the 12th century, by German craftsmen and merchants known as the Transylvanian Saxons (German: Siebenbürger Sachsen), invited to Transylvania by the then King of Hungary, Géza II, to settle and defend the frontier of his realm and improve the region's economy.
The Old Clock Tower
the landmark of the city is a 64 m-high tower built in the 13th century.
The Monastary Church
was built at the beginning of the 13th century. It is the only church without a bell:
The Church on the Hill
is one of the most representative buildings of the gothic site of Romania.
The City Hall
near to Monastery Church was built between 1887 and 1888.
Pictures
As well as the old town citadel with clock tower and 2 big churches ( the church on the hil and the monastery church), Sighisoara also has an orthodox cahedral, across the river from the old town.
We spent the night on the parking lot directly in front of the old town: conveniant and cheap, but quite loud due to Saturday-night revellers!
