Sibiu is one of the most beautiful and most historical towns of RomaniaSibiu (Hermannstadt in German) was the largest and wealthiest of the seven walled citadels* built 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 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.

Before I went to Romania I had heard a lot about this very unique place so for me it was a must. In fact it's the only graveyard I've visited to walk around it with a big smile. The visit there is fo sure funnier for peole who know Romanian as beside the paintings there are also funny stories written on graves.Admittance is paid (but affordable!) and so is taking pictures.Sapanta is also famous for its woven carpets- lots of them are sold around the cemetery.

Its beautiful Old Town is one of the biggest and best preserved in Romania and the most important remains are situated there.
