Turnul Sfatului (The Tower of the Council)

Reviewed By charliesU224AJ - Victoria, Australia

Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.

Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity

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.

Turnul Gros

Reviewed By a1eksandar - Belgrade, Serbia

Very interesting and quite unique 'tower' is part of the old defense system of the city. It's really thick so the term tower is a bit overstreched.

7. Copsa Mare Fortified Church
