The town of Sighisoara although a small town, has nothing different at first sight from any other town of Romania: the well-known communist blocks of flats, some new supermarkets, an industrial area… But what makes it different, even unique in Europe is its historical center founded by the ethnic Saxons in the 13th century and included now in the UNESCO heritage. The medieval town is built on two levels, the upper one being situated on a hill and surrounded by walls and defense towers. This “medieval citadel” with narrow little streets, historical houses built centuries ago, painted in bright colors, with churches built in Gothic style, with guest houses and restaurants serving traditional food, is still an inhabited fortress and this makes it unique in Romania. The house in which the famous king Vlad Dracula was born in the 15th century is also situated inside the fortress, nowadays being changed into a restaurant.
