ROMANIA'S MOST POPULAR DESTINATION, THE MEDIEVAL CITY of SIGHISOARA, top sites to see ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the beautiful country of Romania and let's visit its most popular tourist destination, the medieval city of Sighișoara which is located in the historic region of Transylvania. Sighișoara has a population of 28,102 and it is a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved walled old town, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
During the 12th century, German craftsmen and merchants known as the Transylvanian Saxons were invited to Transylvania by the King of Hungary to settle and defend the frontier of his realm. A chronicler lists a Saxon settlement in present-day Sighișoara by 1191. A document of 1280 records a town built on the site of a Roman fort as Castrum Sex or six-sided camp, referring to the fort's shape of an irregular hexagon.By 1337 Sighișoara had become a royal center for the kings, who awarded the settlement urban status in 1367.
Romania is a southeastern European country known for the forested region of Transylvania, ringed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its preserved medieval towns include Sighişoara, and there are many fortified churches and castles, notably clifftop Bran Castle, long associated with the Dracula legend. Bucharest, the country’s capital, is the site of the gigantic, Communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building.

I visited the UNESCO World Heritage site Sighisoara, Romania. The historical town center is walled in with nine towers, a noteworthy clock-tower, several churches, and a graveyard that immediately made me think of the movie Sleepy Hollow.

SIGHISOARA : TRANSYLVANIA ROAD TRIP PART 3 | ROMANIA
Sighisoara was our third stop in our Transylvania Road Trip. It is very rich in history and has an amazing architecture. This medieval city has a very charming appeal. Not to mention that it was the birth place of the original Dracula (Vlad Tepes). Our most favorite site here is the main square (citadel) itself. People watching, eating ice cream, drinking coffee, checking out restaurants, taking lots of photos as it is so photogenic and just simply resting under the tree are few of our favorite activities here. We are 100% recommending for you guys to visit this place.
