The second day in Sibiu. We walk around the old town and enjoy the old streets with the old houses. And the blue sky, of course. There is so much to see in this little part of the city that you need two days at least. Better make it more days, and you have more time to go to the museums, which I could not do in that short time. You find the 1st part of the Sibiu pictures from this trip here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibiu Lutheran Cathedral of Saint Mary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or the Evangelische Stadtpfarrkirche as the Germans called it. The Cathedral was built in the 14th century on the location of another 12th-century church. It served as a burial place for important persons from Sibu for three centuries. They stopped it in 1796 but one exception was made in 1803 when Baron Samuel von Brukenthal was laid to rest in the crypt. With a height of 73.34 meters, the tower is the tallest in Transylvania. The four turrets on top of the steeple were a sign to foreigners that the town had the right to sentence to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
