Sighisoara is a medieval city, where you will find with a beautiful architecture in Gothic, renaissance and baroque styles. After lunch we will visit the city, so our tourist objectives in Sighisoara are:

The Clock Tower - first it was a gate tower with only two levels. Till 1556, at the first floor was the town hall. In 1894 the Tower was restored and was painted the two emblems and the inscription that reminds of the most important moments of the monument. In 1898 the Tower became a museum.

The Church on the Hill - is the most valuable architectural monument in Sighisoara City. The construction of this church begins in 1345 and continuous, with interruptions, until 1525.The monument is also valuable because of the only known vault in Transylvania which contains tombs from 16^th - 18^th centuries.

The covered Stairway - or the Pupils Stairway, was built in 1662 and had in the beginning 300 stairs. It was covered for the children's protection, on their way to school. After the works in 1849, there were left only 175 stairs.

The Monastery Church - the first Dominican monastery was built in the 13^th century and rebuilt between 1484-1515 in the hall church style. The Church had a lot to suffer, and what is now left of it, is a 1440 bronze baptism vase, a collection of oriental carpets from 13^th century, the baroque shrine since 1680 and the organ that is still being used for many concerts.

Lunch in Sighisoara

Biertan is one of the first German settlements in Transylvania, placed between the two "Seats" Medias and Seica) in the Andreean Diploma from 1224. The first official attestation of Biertan has been certified since 1283, in a document about the taxes demanded by the Catholic Capital from Alba Iulia to the Catholic priests from the Transylvanian Saxon communities. As any other Transylvanian Saxon Community, it has an interesting urban organization, in the Franconian style in which the houses are placed around the central square while overlooked by the grandiose fortress-church.

The fortified Church of Biertan, placed on a hillock in the middle of the village, is an exemplary characteristic for the fortress-church family, placed in localities in the Tarnava area, in the so - called Country of the Wine from Transylvania.

Medias is the second important town of the Sibiu County by its size, and economic growth. During the Middle Ages, the city, like most other towns in Transylvania, was strongly fortified. The Evangelic Church "St. Margaret" or the "Castle" represented the core around which the citadel gradually developed. The first document relating to the existence of the town goes back to June 3^rd, 1267; it was also mentioned later on, in documents of 1283 and 1318. The medieval center of the city has a particular charm, with narrow winding lanes, centuries-old houses and a large square towards which converge the main streets of the town. Among the worth visiting towers and bastions of the city are the Furriers' Bastion (1641), the Blacksmiths' Tower (1641), the Wheelwrights' Tower (17^th c.), the Knife-Makers' Bastion (15^th c.), the Gate’s Tower (16^thth c.).
