The cathedral was built in 1520 on the building of a 12th century Romanesque church. In the foreground stands the statue of George Daniel Tautz, Bishop of Sibiu from 1899. The cathedral is Gothic-style and has five towers, the highest of which is 73 meters high and is seen from almost everywhere in the city The eastern wall of the church is covered with a huge painting (more than 9 meters high), painted by the painter "Rosano" in 1445, showing the crucifixion of Jesus. The largest organ in all of Southeastern Europe, located in the Baroque style dating from 1671, has six thousand pipes and in the summer months of June-September, there are concerts for organ organisms on Wednesdays.

This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
This is quite an impressive building from outside with its red and yellow striped brick work - very Byzantine in appearance. It was apparently modelled on the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and is the seat of the Romania Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu. Although the outside is quite magnificent in its own way - the inside is fabulous - ornately decorated and painted with a great altar. This is the umber one attraction in Sibiu, in my opinion.

Another lovely Mihai Eminescu Trust lodging here. Somewhat more restored than some of the others (and, consequently, much warmer) but with another gracious and beautiful library. The bedrooms are large and the bedlinen crisp. The meal cooked by the building's guardian was the best we had. Hats off to the MET/experiencetransyvania for another lovely place to stay. As others have remarked, the church is no longer really fortified but is still very pleasing. A good place to stay if you want to get to Biertan in the morning before the crowds. Worth visiting for the lovely MET accommodation by itself.
7. Sinagoga din Sibiu (The Great Synagogue in Sibiu)
