Sibiu: A city with eyes looking into the soul

Sibiu: A city with eyes looking into the soul

This photo album is the key to one of the most charming and atmospheric cities in Transylvania. Sibiu, the former cultural capital of Europe, is a place where Baroque elegance meets the spirit of the Middle Ages, and the famous “eyes” on the roofs seem to watch your every step.

What you will see in these four images:

• Large area (Piaţa Mare): The heart of the city, surrounded by majestic buildings in styles from Gothic to Art Nouveau, where cultural and social life boils.
• The Bridge of Liars: A legendary wrought-iron bridge that is said to crack under the weight of a lie told on it. The ideal point for a photo against the background of colored facades.
• St. Mary's Lutheran Cathedral: A majestic Gothic spire dominating the panorama of the city, with spectacular views from the tower.
• Famous "eyes": Unique auditory windows on the tiled roofs of old houses, similar to squinted eyes - the most recognizable symbol of Sibiu.

Why you should visit Sibiu:

• Saxon Pearl: A magnificently preserved medieval center founded by Transylvanian Saxons and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Festival City: Musical, theatrical and gastronomic events take place here all year round, revitalizing the streets and squares.
• Open-air Museum Quarter: A walk around the city is already a tour, and entering the buildings, you get to museums of history, art and ethnography.
• Incredible atmosphere: The mixture of German order, Transylvanian mysticism and Romanian hospitality creates an aura unlike anything else.

Let these 12 photos be the beginning of your journey to a city where history lives in every stone, art lives on every street, and hundreds of stone eyes watch you from the rooftops with kindness and curiosity.
