The 14th century citadel in Sibiu
After recovering from my rough week in the Apuseni mountains, I finally got my energy back up and moved on to Sibiu. The city is known as one of the gems Romania’s Saxon heritage, and after visiting I definitely understood why. The old town is extremely well preserved and the architecture is really fascinating. I had a great time walking around!
I also saw a great, politically-charged wall of street art that was half in Romanian and half in English. Although it was the briefest of introductions, I definitely got a sense of some of the Romanian sentiment around current political realities in Europe.
-
- The large square in Sibiu’s old town
-
- The 1958 Liar’s Bridge in SIbiu
-
- A defense tower in SIbiu’s old town
-
- I loved that all of the windows on the old Saxon buildings are like eyes watching you.
-
- The full wall of politically-charged statements on European politics
-
- I’ve learned quite a lot about how Romania and the other Balkan countries feel excluded from western Europe while I’ve been traveling around!
-
- I heart Sibiu?
-
- Hope rising and falling
-
- I particularly liked this one from a linguistic point of view
-
- Definitely relevant to my former career in public relations!
