Sibiu, Romania - Architecture
The old city center provides plenty amazing examples of the Protestant Saxon architecture. The narrow streets, where visitors can still walk on the original cobbled roads and the huge and wonderful Unitarian Cathedral at the end of the Main Street are only a few of the things that make Sibiu a perfect place for a Romanian vacation.
Sibiu, Romania - Sightseeing and museums
Joseph Bruckenthal was the governor of the county during the blooming of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Brukenthanl Museum complex founded by the governor now wears his name and it is the largest and richest one in the area having sections like the unique and very interesting History of the Pharmacology and the Fine Art section exposing paintings of well known Baroque artists such as the Flemish Jan van Eyck and Anthony van Dyck.
However the most famous sight of Sibiu is the impressive Astra-Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization about 1,5 miles (2 km) near the city.
