On our way back to BM, we've decided to stop for a breath of fresh air in Sighisoara :) There are so many things to tell about this place...Sighisoara is probably the best preserved fortified town in Transylvania, being built by the Saxons between the 12th and the 17th centuries. It is located on the Tarnava Mare river in a picturesque setting. The citadel, a beautifully preserved medieval complex, dominates the town with its hilltop setting. The old town enclosed within the citadel walls has narrow cobblestone streets and brightly painted 16th century Saxon houses. There are nine surviving towers; the most beautiful is the striking Clock Tower, the main gate into the citadel. (source) . We were all of us hungry so we stopped at "Casa cu Cerb" (pension /restaurant) to eat smth. Casa cu Cerb is situated in the medieval fortress of Sighisoara. Monument is categorized. The name is due to exterior wall painting, representing a deer in size, and head trophy mounted on the wall. Cerb house is one of the oldest buildings in the Castle and the most interesting in terms of architecture.
