A magic  place straight out of the pages of a fairytale, a magical mix of winding cobbled alleys, steep stairways, secludedsquares, towers and turrets… Situated beside the Tarnava Mare river, The Citadel of Sighisoara was founded by german settlers in the 12thcentury. The first documentary evidence dates from 1298.

Built by the Saxon colonists living in Transylvania, who had to watch over the frontiers of the Hungarian kingdom in the 12th and 13th centuries, the fortress gathered inside its walls: Saxon, Romanian and Hungarian craftsmen.
