Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.

This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.
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.

Biertan is one of the most important Saxon villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, having been on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1993. The Biertan fortified church was the see of the Lutheran Evangelical Bishop in Transylvania between 1572 and 1867. Also there you will find a lock door that needs 4 keys to open, but has more than 20 lock devices inside. The entrance cost 2 euros.

Very interesting and quite unique 'tower' is part of the old defense system of the city. It's really thick so the term tower is a bit overstreched.
This church is very rich in old paintings specific to orthodox culture. It was built for the sheepherders guild in Transylvania.
