Sibiu Essentials

Sibiu’s historic core is defined by the Great Square, established in 1366, and the 14th-century Stairs Passage connecting the Upper and Lower Towns. Architectural highlights include the Gothic Lutheran Cathedral of Saint Mary, known for its massive steeple, and the "Holy Trinity" Orthodox Cathedral. The city’s medieval defenses remain visible through the Council Tower and the 15th-century Potters’ and Carpenters’ Towers. Nearby, the ASTRA Museum spans 96 hectares, preserving traditional Romanian architecture and cultural heritage in one of Europe’s largest open-air ethnographic sites.
