Sibiu (Hermannstadt in German) was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels (Siebenburgen) built starting in the 12th century by German settlers known as 'Transylvanian Saxons'. The riches amassed by its guilds paid for the construction of both impressive buildings and the fortifications required to protect them.
Sibiu's Old Town retains the grandeur of its earlier days when rich and powerful guilds dominated regional trade. Like Sighisoara and Brasov, it has a distinctly Germanic feeling. Sections of the medieval wall still guard the historic area, where narrow streets pass steep-roofed 17th century buildings with gable overhangs before opening into vast, church-dominated squares such as Great Square and Little Square.
Sibiu is a pedestrian-friendly city with two easily accessible levels: the Upper town, home to most of Sibiu's historic sights, and the Lower town, lined with colorful houses on cobblestone streets and bounded by imposing city walls and defense towers overlooking the river Cibin.
While Romania became part of the European Union in the same year, the city won the title in 2004, becoming the first city not part of a European Union country, to have triumphed. Under the slogan ‘A city of culture. A city of cultures’, Sibiu showed its multiculturality and effervescent artistic scene through more than 2,000 events organized all-year long.
