Friday 20th August Sighisoara




Today we explored Sighisoara which is the birthplace of Dracula , the citadel contains the majority of attractions and is perched on a hill surrounded by a 14th century wall and nine towers. We climbed the clock tower (which dates from 1280) which gave a great view of the surrounding villages, forests and hills. The clock tower also housed an interesting history museum although the surgeons’ amputation case from the 18th century that looked rather barbaric. The torture room museum was disappointing; we walked in and out in about 2 minutes.
Sighisoara had a very nice vibe our feet were hurting at the end of the day due to the poor quality cobbled streets and our poor choice of foot wear – thongs/flip flops.
