Things to do in Sighisoara, Transylvania: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

August 5, 2021 Velvet Mowry

The clock tower of Sighisoarais the grand dame of the city, reigning tall and proud from atop a central hill. Founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century, Sighisoara is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features well-preserved medieval stone streets and structures. Visit fortified churches, climb the famed Scara Şcolarilor covered staircase, and get goosebumps at the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s terrifying creature, Count Dracula.

On top of the hill, as the name says, sits the church, with a long and interesting history. Fully restored, and next to the school. Beautiful views of the city. The stairs up are the highlight and there a small cemetery next to it, with tombstones dating back several centuries

Holy Trinity Church

Reviewed By StephenKAdams - London, United Kingdom

A short stroll across the river and well worth a visit. The paintings inside are stunning. This church is frequently used for worship, but you can go inside if there is a service going on, as long as you are respectfully dressed. Also, photos should t really been taken inside an Orthodox Church because they are not there as tourist attractions, but places of worship.
