Cemetery of the Church on the Hill, Sighisoara, Romania 2012
To the north of the Clock Tower stands one of the most representative gothic-style structures in Transylvania, the Church on the Hill - so called because of its location on the School Hill (1,373 ft high). First mentioned in a document in 1345 and superposed on a former Roman basilica, the church is reached by a covered wooden staircase with nearly 180 steps known as the Scholars' Stairs. Opposite the church is the main entrance to a serene Saxon cemetery (open daily 8:00am - 8:00pm).

루마니아 시기쇼아라 시내여행.
아름다운 구시가지에 위치한 시계탑으로 유명한 도시.
시기쇼아라는 루마니아 트란실바니아 지방에 위치한 소도시이다.
유네스코세계유산으로 등록된 구시가지가 잘 보존되어 인기가 있다.
동서로 흐르는 '터르나바 마레' 강이 시기쇼아라를 관통하며, 구시가지는 강의 남쪽에 위치해 있다.
시기쇼아라는 드라큘라의 모티브인 블라드3세가 어린시절을 보낸 곳으로 잘 알려져 있으며, 그의 생가는 현재는 식당으로 운영되고 있다. 그의 기념비와 기념품가게도 있지만 이 도시를 대표하는 장소는 시계탑이다.
구시가지는 언덕위에 위치해있고, 길들은 모두 자갈들이 채워진 돌길이라 바퀴달린 가방을 끌고 진입하기에는 힘들다.
시타델스퀘어(중앙광장)은 사람들이 모여 즐기는 공간이다.
14세기에 최초로 지어진 시계탑은 17세기 화재 후 다시 지어졌으며 현재는 역사박물관과 전망대로 활용되고 있다.
시기쇼아라 역시 눈달린 모습의 창문이 지붕에 달린 집들이 보인다.
구시가지내 상부의 터널과 같은 계단을 오르면 더 높은 언덕에 교회와 교회묘지가 나온다.
교회묘지는 숲속에 큰 공간을 차지하고 있으며 음산한 기운이 돈다.
구시가지에는 기념품 가게들도 있으며, 괜찮은 식당과 와인창고도 있다.
시기쇼아라 구시가지는 각각의 이름을 가진 방어탑들이 있는데 일부는 여러가지 용도로 활용되어 관광객들에게 개방된다.
구시가지를 벗어나 차로 10~20분 정도 이동하면 드라큘라 펜션이 나온다. 숙박 외에도 승마체험을 할 수 있고, 작은 동물원도 있다. 드라큘라 펜션에서 더 멀리 가면 16세기에 지어진 비에르탄 요새교회로 갈 수 있다.

The hidden gem of Romania - Sighisoara - a medieval citadel
Finally I am in Sighisoara, Romania, the birth town of Vlad the Impaler, a.k.a Dracula and the most preserved , the most beautiful medieval citadel in Europe. A 12th century citadel built by the Transylvanian Saxons, a perfectly intact medieval city that you cannot find anywhere else.
It is a travel back in time, walking on the same streets as our fellow knights did centuries back. Touching the same colorful walls touched by Dracula himself when he played lapte gros si smantanos(it's a stupid outdoor game we used to play when I was a kid) during his childhood - I don't know, I'm just saying, you never know. :)
After a painful journey in a smelly train from Sibiu to Sighisoara, it was a relief and a pleasure to explore and walk on the streets of this amazing medieval citadel. The weather was a bit gloomy at first, but later on it turned into a brilliant snowy day, set the perfect mood for Christmas.
The citadel holds colorful medieval houses, towers, churches and great restaurants with traditional dishes. During the year there are medieval events and festivals organized in the citadel.
For cheap as £30 you can spend a night at a any of the cute inns. They are nicely decorated in the same medieval tone. You can walk around the citadel on and on and not get bored of it. A great experience is to walk up to the church on the hill through the covered staircase which was built in 1654 and hold around 300 steps. Later on in the 1800s it was amended and reduced the steps to 178, but still keeps the Saxon architecture appearance.
I am highly recommending this place to anyone who is planning to visit Romania, it is unique. I am planning to come back during the summer and spend more time in Sighisoara.
My next stop will in at Brasov and Poiana Brasov, the Wonder Winterland of Romania.
Thank you for stepping by and travel more!

Sighisoara Biserica Manastirii (The Monastery Church) ✔
➤ “The Monastery Church, also known as the Church of the Dominican Monastery (Romanian: Biserica Mănăstirii Dominicane), is a Gothic church formerly part of a medieval Dominican monastery in Sighişoara, Romania The church was erected in 1289, and incorporates half of a Dominican monastery which was demolished in 1888. The monastery was one of a network planned by Paulus Hungarus (Paul the Hungarian) throughout the Kingdom of Hungary to act as a bulwark against heresy. Saxon nobleman Leonard Barlabassy gave the church an endowment.
Between the inside and outside of the church there are some stylistic differences. If in the interior the Baroque style is prevailing, on the exterior the simple facades retain most of the elements of late Gothic architecture. The west facade is the most impressive, dominated by a triangular pediment equipped with three very tall gothic windows. After the demolition of medieval buildings located in the space between the church and the Clock Tower, on the southern side were built three vertical columns, which end at the top with three arches supporting masonry church.
Inside the church architectural elements and artistic furniture typical of the early Baroque era are prevailing. Elements such as pillars and arches, the altar, pews, canopy, painted organ and balconies and oriental carpets that adorn the church.
The most important piece of furniture is a baptismal font made in bronze. This font is the oldest and most valuable piese of furniture art in the church. A latin inscription is visible on the cup showing the scope of baptism: „Baptism banish the forces of evil and the devil” and specifing the name of the author of the artwork:”This work was made by the hands of Jacob, the one that makes bells, in the Year of Our Lord 1440”.
The font was made in a local workshop in Sighisoara; it is 108.5 cm high and has 60.3 cm of diameter. The cup bell contains the inscription mentioned and it’s decorated with biblical scenes and lilies.
A similar font, dating from the same period, is in the Evangelical Church of Sibiu, but it doesn’t have the same „grace” as the one in Sighisoara.”
