What is your impression when you at first see this pic?
An eye like structure?
Some sort of modern art??
Well this is frequently seen on the rooftops of Sibiu (in fact it's small windows)and while you notice it then it's great fun as it looks like huge eyes staring at you!
Visit the Tourist information center and get maps and advses what you shall do in Sibiu. I was there and I got so much help of the girls in the tourist center, they were really helpful. Uusually they have open from early morning to late in the evening Monday to Friday. You get all kind of help here, they even helped me to book bus ticket. I am very satisfied with their help in Sibiu tourist ofice.
Piaţa Mare, the Large Square, is not only the biggest but also the oldest of Sibiu's three town squares. It is the historic centre of Sibiu, and the first written record of it, from 1411, tells us that it was used as a corn market. It was also the site of public executions and public meetings. In 1703 the county leader Johann Sachs von Harteneck was beheaded in this square. Between 1724 and 1757 there was also a 'cage for crazy people' in the square.
The square, which is one of the biggest in Europe, is 142 m long and 93 m wide. The southern side of the square with its medieval buildings, has been declared an architectural monument. The most important building is number 10, the Haller House built in the 15th century. This house was the property of the Haller family for 345 years. At number 8 is the Hecht House also from the 15th century. On the corner with Magheru Street is Fileck House (1802) one of the most impressive buildings in town. The north side of the square is dominated by the Catholic Church and on the corner with Avram Iancu Street stands the Council Tower. On the east side the most important building is Weidner-Reussner House with the original portal dated 1652. Facing west is Brukenthal Palace (1789), home of the Brukenthal National Museum, and next to it is the Blue House, a baroque building from the 18th century.
Liars' Bridge, also known as Iron Bridge, was the first iron bridge in Romania. It connects the Upper Town to the Lower Town. Built in 1859, it got its nickname from the lower townspeople's mistrust of the upper townspeople on the other side of the bridge whom they believed were untrustworthy merchants or deceitful lovers bent on seducing their daughters.
The bridge is at the northern end of Piaţa Mica and you can get a great view of it from the Council Tower.
There is a Soviet army cemetary along the road towards the Museum of Traditional Folk Civilisation. Actually I discovered it by accident, because I went into the cemetary to avoid a group of noisy and annoying drunks. To finish the story, I didn't make it to the museum because of several reasons.
