Itinerary

Big Square (Piata Mare)

30 min

The postcard image of Sibiu, the Large Square is the biggest of all the historical spaces in the Upper Town. Today, the Large Square is an open-air exhibition of fine Baroque-style monuments like the must-visit Brukenthal Museum and many more aristocratic residences from the past centuries.

The space of the Square is also representative of the religious diversity of Sibiu that once meant powerful churches fighting for domination.
Piaka Mica

20 min Admission not included

The second fortification line from the Upper Town incorporated what we call today the Small Square, the place where Lower Town merchants sold their good in the medieval centuries. Some of the monuments here conserve even today the typical gallery architecture of the merchant houses.
Huet Square

40 min Admission not included

Step on the famous Liars’ Bridge to reach the next attraction of the itinerary: Huet Square.

The oldest part of the Upper Tower and the place of the first fortification system, Huet Square is dominated by the Evangelical Church, an imposing monument built during several centuries, the legacy of the German colonist who founded Sibiu centuries ago.
Citadel Park of Sibiu

One of the iconic places of Sibiu, this part of the Upper Town preserves centuries-old defensive towers equipped for artillery fights. It’s part of the last fortification system built to protect the city.
