Centrul Istoric Sighisoara

We will then head to the city of Sighisoara, whose historical center is also included in the UNESCO Patrimony. Sighisoara is home to one of the few inhabited medieval citadels in Europe. Due to its remarkable architecture and stunning surrounding landscape, the city earned the name of “The Pearl of Transylvania” ever since the end of the 19th century. In Sighisoara, you will visit the Clock Tower, one of the most remarkable landmarks of military architecture in Transylvania, as well as the uncontested icon of medieval and pre-modern public authority.
