Sibiu-cultural capital of Romania

Sibiu is the cultural capital of Romania, a historical city with much to offer. Besides the old buildings and the lovely architecture you can tend the Medieval Festival. Tourists from around the world come every year to see this festival because it is truly unique...old medieval music, people dressed in rustic clothing, sword fights, fire shows and jousting are a few things presented at the festival

Of course you have your medieval themed restaurants and clubs and  every where you look there is a piece of history...

  The "Eyes of Sibiu" are called the houses which have this type of windows...because they look like eyes and if you stare at them for awhile you get the impression they are looking back at you...oh...and you always get the  feeling  that someone is watching you!

In Sibiu you can find Romania's oldest cast-iron bridge. The Liegende Brücke(Lying bridge) had been installed in place of a wood bridge in 1859. The wood, Liars Bridge go its name from the stories and tall talk of the nearby hagglers. The new name was in vain, the unwritten tradition proved to be stronger, and the Liars Bridge kept its name. Today it's the pride of Sibiu. On one side of the bridge you can see the date of the structure, on the other the Saxon blazon, which impictures two swords put in crossway and a crown on top of them. This meant a lot at previous times, it meant that the Saxons accepted the King of Hungary .
