Sighisoara, medieval heaven
The
heroes of the time
Meet
the heroes: The Church on the Hill with its
500-year-old frescoes, the 13th century Venetian House and the
Church of the Dominican Monastery, known for its Transylvanian
renaissance carved altarpiece, baroque pulpit, Oriental carpets and
17th century organ. Wounded but not defeated: Blacksmiths' Tower
(Turnul Fierarilor), Butchers' Tower (Turnul
Macelarilor), Cobblers' Tower (Turnul Cizmarilor),
Furriers' Tower (Turnul Cojocarilor), Ropemakers' Tower (Turnul Franghierilor), Tailors' Tower
(Turnul Croitorilor), Tanners' Tower (Turnul
Tabacarilor) and Tinsmiths' Tower (Turnul
Cositorilor). The ninth tower still standing is the Clock
Tower itself.
Transportation
This
trip in the past is possible by car, train or airplane. The nearest
