Sibiu 


The fi rst written 

documentation documentation of Sibiu 

(under the name of of 

Cibinium) dates dates from from 

1191. 

in 1223, Sibiu was mentioned 

under the name of Vila Hermanni, 

a rural type of dwelling. The catastrophic 

consequences of the tartar 

raids between 1241 and 1242 

lead to the awareness that the 

city had to be enforced. The fortifi 

cation works thus began, intensifying 

during the next centuries 

so that by the 15th century Sibiu 

became one of the best protected 

cities in Transylvania. in 1292 

the fi rst hospital on the present 

territory of Romania opened in 

the Asylum Church, a building 


5 

which is still preserved today. in 

1366, Sibiu is mentioned for the 

fi rst time under the name of Hermannstadt. 

The defense capacity 

of the city against ottoman 

attacks caught the attention of 

the entire europe. Pope eugene 

iV himself nominated Sibiu as “a 

defender of Christianity”. in the 

15th century the social and economic 

life and the most important 

events of the fortress took 

place in the three central squares: 

Small Square, large Square and 

Huet Square.


During the 19th century, famous 

musicians such as Franz Liszt and 

Johann Strauss sustained concerts 

on the stages of Sibiu. 

They were very well structured: 

the houses of the merchants and 

craftsmen were situated in the 

Small Square, whereas the large 

Square was dominated by the 

magnifi cent houses of the patriciate. 

The number of the very well organized 

craft guilds increased 

during this period. Their products 

not only entered the Transylvanian 

market but also on the 

markets of important european 

cities. in 1691, following the Austrian 

occupation, Transylvania 

was included in the Austro-Hungarian 

empire, becoming an Autonomous 

Principality and Sibiu 

served as its capital (1692 - 1790). 

During the 18th century the medieval 

image of the city transformed 

into one of a modern, 

occidental city, with imposing 

churches and buildings in a Viennese 

baroque style. The cultural 

life had an increasingly important 

role, music and theatre being 

integral in the city’s life. The 

Brukenthal Palace was built.

Th e 

Brukenthal 

Palace 

it is one of the most signifi cant 

Baroque style monuments in 

Transylvania and it was built to 

serve the governor, Baron Samuel 

von Brukenthal, as the offi cial 

residence but also with the purpose 

of sheltering his art collection. 

The Palace is now the site of 

the Brukenthal national Museum, 

one of the most important art 

museums in Romania.

The union of Transylvania with 

Romania (1918) brought about 

major changes in the city life, 

especially in city planning and 

in the social and cultural fields: 

the education in the Romanian 

language also developed and 

the main modern cultural institutions 

were founded in the years 

which followed: The State Theatre 

(1947) and the State Philharmonics 

(1949). The instauration 

of communism after 1945 came 

with the socialist industrialization 

process, numerous setbacks being 

recorded, especially from the 

point of view of the city planning. 

After the Revolution in 1989, 

the center of the city was declared 

a protected historical area 

in order to preserve its medieval 

aspect. The medieval architectural 

reservation includes an area 

of around 80 hectares of valuable 

buildings, the majority of which 

are monuments, comprised within 

the four fortification belts.

in 2007, Sibiu held the title of european 

Capital of Culture, thus 

succeeding in highlighting its 

highly valuable cultural and historic 

heritage. As a result of this 

event, the city’s image improved 

signifi cantly, foreign visitors placing 

Sibiu amongst the top fi ve european 

Capitals of Culture. 

This fact confi rms that Sibiu 

leaves one with a powerful positive 

impression and has the necessary 

potential to maintain its 

statute of cultural touristic destination 

of a european level.

A walk through Sibiu 

We suggest you start your walk through 

the historical center in the Small 

Square, near the Bridge of Lies. 

The Bridge of Lies 

Small Square 

Built in 1859, it is the fi rst cast iron 

bridge on the nowadays territory of 

Romania, ensuring the access from 

the central fortress towards the 

lower Town. legends related to the 

name of the bridge say that it made 

a screaking sound at every lie said by 

those crossing it, threatening to break 

under the “weight” of a bigger lie. 

Once in the Small Square, 

you can also visit the 

Council Tower.

The Council Tower 

no. 1, large Square 

(entrance from the Small Square) 

it is one of the well known monuments 

of Sibiu. its name is due to 

the fact that the old City Hall of of 

Sibiu, mentioned in documents 

in in 1324, is situated next door. The 

tower had various uses, from a storage 

house for cereals to an observation 

deck deck for for fi res, res, a a jail jail house house and and 

even a a museum museum of natural sciences 

at the middle middle of the 18th century. 

Going through the passage situated 

under the tower you will reach 

the Large Large Square, where you 

will fi fi nd nd touristic touristic objectives objectives 

such as: 


13 

The Haller House 


The Renaissance style 

building preserves several 

elements belonging 

to the original building. 

The Haller House was preserved 

in the property of 

the Haller family for a period 

of 345 years.


The building of the 

City Hall of Sibiu 

no. 2, Samuel Brukenthal Street 

Built at the beginning of the 20th 

century, the building was erected in 

a special architectural style. The front 

part is adorned with fi gurative elements 

and the interior presents motifs 

from the Jugendstil. 

An Art nouveau stained-glass can 

be seen at the fi rst fl oor, the entire 

hall presenting Greek motifs and lion 

heads. The restoration of the building 

was fi nalized in 2006 and at the present 

the local administration unwinds 

its activity here.

The “Sfanta Treime (Holy Trinity)” 

Roman Catholic Parish Church 


opened to visitors every day. 

The church was built by Jesuit monks 

between 1726 and 1733 in an early Viennese 

Baroque style. Among the valuable 

elements we mention the fresco 

representing Mary and the Baby, made 

in 1777, the Baroque style confessionals 

dating from the 18th century, the 

stained glass windows and the organ 

installed here in 1860. 

Leaving the Large Square, we take General 

Magheru Street where you may visit: 

The Ursulines Church 

no. 38, General Magheru Street 



A Dominican monastery functioned here 

starting with 1474 which, at the time of the 

religious reform in 1543, passed into the possession 

of the lutherans. later on the church 

is handed to the Ursuline nuns who rebuilt 

it starting with 1728. The exterior presents 

Gothic elements whereas the inside, at the 

request of the nuns, was decorated in a Baroque 

style. 

15


Go through the passage situated near 

the church and you will reach Selarilor 

Street, where the Franciscan Church 

can be found: 

The Franciscan Church 

no. 14, Selarilor Street 


The church initially belonged to the 

order of the Clarissa nuns and in 1716 

it entered in the possession of the 

Franciscans. it presents architectural 

elements both in the Gothic and the 

Baroque style. 

Your journey will now go on to Filarmonicii Street 

and then on to Cetatii Street.

The fortification wall 

on Cetatii Street 

The wall maintains its aspect dating 

from the second half of the 15th century, 

when it was rebuilt in brick and a watch 

road was created. 

Cetatii Street is flanked by three very well 

preserved defense towers, belonging 

to the third fortification belt. They bear 

the name of the guilds responsible with 

building them, ensuring maintenance 

and defending them: The Carpenters’ 

Tower, The Potters’ Tower and the Arquebusiers’ 

Tower. All three towers present 

a distinct architecture, having been 

built during different time periods, each 

guild trying to imprint its own style. 


The Thick Tower 

(today the State Philharmonics) 

no. 5, Cetatii Street 

17 

Built in 1540, the Thick Tower was part of a 

series of fortification belts, with several defensive 

belts, being considered a genuine 

“war machine”. After 1788, when the tower 

lost its defense role, the space was refashioned 

to host the first theatre house in the 

city. The first cinema projection took place in 

this hall in 1898. Recently rehabilitated, the 

tower hosts at the present the State Philharmonics 

in Sibiu.


Leaving Cetăţii Street, carry onto Papiu 

Ilarian Street, then on to Nicolae 

Bălcescu Boulevard, passing the Roman 

Emperor Hotel and reaching Mitropoliei 

Street. Here you can admire: 

The Bethlen House 

no. 13, Mitropoliei Street 

The Bethlen House is known as the 

“Caryatides House” or the “Small Palace” 

because it attempts to present 

certain architectural motifs of Baron 

Brukenthal’s palace; it was built in 

1786. The entrance is fl anked by two 

caryatides, a symbol of the late baroque 

style. 

The “Saint Trinity” 

Metropolitan Cathedral 

no. 33 – 35, Mitropoliei Street 

The church is opened to visitors every 

day. The edifi ce of the cathedral 

stands out by its imposing Byzantine 

navy, inspired from the architecture 

of the Saint Sophie Basilica 

in istanbul. The cathedral was sanctifi 

ed in April 1906 and since then it 

was restored several times and embellished 

with a beautiful neo-byzantine 

window.

The Reformed Church 

no. 9, Mitropoliei Street 


19 

Built between 1783-1786, the church is a sober 

monument, standing out with its narrow, 

baroque style façade. 

The Stairs’ Passage 

From Mitropoliei 

Street descend on 

Al. Odobescu Street, 

passing nearby the 

Museum of History, 

and here discovering: 

Situated near the “Wall of the Arches”, the 

Stairs’ Passage connects the Upper Town 

with the lower Town by means of two ramifications 

of stairs and arcades which surround 

the city walls nearby the evangelic 

Church. The right wing of the passage is part 

of a wall which belonged to the second fortification 

belt.


The Stairs’ Tower 

no. 3, Huet Square 

Built in the 13th century, it is one of 

the oldest edifices in Sibiu. its present 

day form dates from 1542. The 

tower presents at the first floor an 

arched passage way leading towards 

the stairs connecting the “Upper 

Town” with the “lower Town”. 

The Journeymen’s House 


The building was erected between 

the 13th and 14th centuries. The 

house served as a shelter for the 

travelling journeymen during the 

past centuries. it is the first “journeymen’s 

house” situated outside the 

borders of Germany, Switzerland 

and France.

The “Saint Mary” 

Evangelic Parish Church 


The church is opened to visitors 

every day between 10 a.m. and 6 

p.m. during summer and between 

11 a.m. and 4 p.m. the rest of the 

year. The church tower may be 

visited upon request. The evangelic 

Church is one of the most 

impressive buildings in Sibiu. Built 

between the 14th and the 16th 

century, the edifi ce is dominated 

by the seven levels central tower, 

framed by four smaller towers 

situated in the corners. it is the 

second highest tower in Transylvania, 

the highest being the one 

in Bistriţa (73.34 meters). 

one of the most beautiful bronze 

fonts existing in our country is to 

be found in the choir, in the church 

axis. A number of 228 booklets in 

relief adorn its surface, most of 

them being fi gurative representations 

of Byzantine infl uence. 


21


The font dates from 1438 and according 

to the legend, it was cast in 

the bronze of the Turkish cannons 

captured by the inhabitants of Sibiu 

in the battle of 1437. 

For a period of 300 years starting 

with 1496, the church also served as 

a burial site for mayors, county administrative 

leaders and other personalities 

of the city. Baron Samuel 

von Brukenthal is one of those who 

found a resting place here. 

The tomb stones covering the graves 

were taken from the church navy in 

1853 and incorporated in the walls 

of the church ferula, thus obtaining 

a gallery of 67 tombstones, unique 

in Romania. 

During summer, organ concerts take 

place here every Wednesday.

Continue your walk and dare to open 

old gates, discover mysterious passage 

ways and the narrow streets which release 

the scent of the past and that of 

history. Stop and have dinner in one 

of the open-air terraces in the Small 

Square, in a peaceful atmosphere. 

Take your time in exploring an old 

city and absorb its paradoxical youth, 

which also characterizes its inhabitants. 

You will discover many other interesting 

sights which will strengthen 

your belief that you made the right 

choice in coming to Sibiu.
