Situated in
the middle of the country, where the roads of the
historical Romanian areas meet, Sibiu is a junction
for the spreading of material and spiritual values,
which created a blossoming culture and civilization.
Sibiu is beautiful;
indeed a delight for the eyes. At the center of it
all stands the proud fortress-church, built by the
original German settlers in Gothic sturdiness. Sibiu
is an easy city to explore on foot, one with a good
selection of restaurants, pavement cafes and beer
gardens, but perhaps the most enduring memory is that
of the dormer windows overlooking the squares in such
a manner that they give the eerie impression that
you are always being watched - these are the 'eyes
of Sibiu'!
