St. Nicholas is more than a church. It is an Orthodox Cathedral as well as a Museum Complex as it also represents the First Romanian School, taught in Romanian in times where schooling was regarded as a luxury and subjects were mostly presented in French, German or Latin. St. Nicholas is an amazingly beautiful monument in itself and while in Brasov, I highly recommend stopping for a visit.

The cathedral was built in 1520 on the building of a 12th century Romanesque church. In the foreground stands the statue of George Daniel Tautz, Bishop of Sibiu from 1899. The cathedral is Gothic-style and has five towers, the highest of which is 73 meters high and is seen from almost everywhere in the city The eastern wall of the church is covered with a huge painting (more than 9 meters high), painted by the painter "Rosano" in 1445, showing the crucifixion of Jesus. The largest organ in all of Southeastern Europe, located in the Baroque style dating from 1671, has six thousand pipes and in the summer months of June-September, there are concerts for organ organisms on Wednesdays.

This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
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.

The Cistercian Abbey of Carta is placed in the Carta village. It can be easily reached from DN1 (Braşov - Sibiu) by following the indicators. The abbey is unique in Romania and the easternmost one in Europe. It was built around 1220 by Cistercian monks. You can visit the monastery ruins, which represent a really peaceful place. Between the old walls of the original church there is a small cemetery of German soldiers from the First World War. The choir from the original monastery is now transformed in a small but very nice church. In the nearby of the ruins there is a museum, an info point and a restaurant with good food and prices. Carta Cistercian Abbey is a must-see place when you visit Transylvania or Sibiu area.
