Sighisoara, the "Pearl of Transylvania" of yesteryear, considered today "the most beautiful inhabited city in Europe", raises its towers on the hill which dominates the most important gorge of the course of the Tarnava Mari. Founded according to tradition in 1191, but mentioned in a document in 1280 as Castrum Sex and then with the German castle Schesrpurch (1298). Sighisoara is the constructive work of German settlers (Saxons) brought to Transylvania to guard the ancient borders of the Hungarian kingdom in the 12th-13th centuries AD.
The architecture of Sighisoara is dominated by the Renaissance and Baroque styles, being the expression of a constructive effort that occurred relatively late, especially after the great fire of 1676. Of the old rural Gothic architecture, only as the two important churches of the Citadel: the Church of the Hill and the Church of the Monastery.
Older or more recent discoveries show that in the basement of the hill on which the current fortress is located, there are traces of dwellings and necropolises from the early Iron Age.
At the top of the hill of the Scolii, where the Church of the Hill and the Liceul are today, there was an earthen fortress with trenches and waves reinforced with palisades since antiquity, enlarged in the 12th century by the Scythians, destroyed in 1241 by the Tatars, demolished then leveled by the Saxons to make way for a medieval stone fortress serving as a refuge for the settlement on the hill. Around and under the protection of this initial fortress, the medieval city of Sighisoara developed in the 13th-15th centuries.
The clock tower :
One of the great monuments of Transylvania and at the same time a symbol of Sighisoara, and an expression of the constructive pride of the inhabitants of Sighisoara, who called themselves "the rough, the tough". It is the tower that protects the main gate of the Citadel.
In its current form, it is presented as a rectangular prism with massive walls (2.35 m thick at the base) on four levels and a balcony, topped with a Baroque roof. With the roof, the clock tower is 64 m high.The four turrets at the base of the roof symbolize the city's judicial autonomy. Until 1556, the first floor of the tower was the seat of the town hall.In the past, the entrance to the tower was via a mobile staircase which led to a small gallery located on the first floor. The entrance gate under the tower initially consists of two vaulted passageways, one for pedestrians and the other for carts protected by iron railings and gratings. The pedestrian bridge was built and converted into a prison and torture chamber for those sentenced to death in the Middle Ages.
The old symbol figurines brought by the craftsman Kirchel burned down in 1676, but the same craftsman rebuilt everything. The current mechanism was made in Switzerland in 1906 and retrofitted with an electric motor by craftsmen Konradt, father and son. Thanks to one of their innovations, the clock manages to work for another three hours after the interruption of the electric current. The Clock Tower was transformed into a museum in 1898.

So you camed closer to me. 😃 I’m from România, But from the seaside, from Constanta. Waiting for you here to go together as I told you in a comment, at a previous video. But the best part of România is Alba area, munții Apuseni. The best people from this country and the best side of the country. Don’t miss Sinaia (Peleș Castle) and Bran Castle. But for sure, you know better than me. So, enjoy your trip! 👍🏼

@@montpelee thank you very much
I spent two lovely days in Sighișoara & wish it had been longer. Sure it gets busy but by 5pm the tourist groups leave & Piata Cetatii is peaceful. I visited in May & would say that’s a perfect time to go.
Sighisoara is unique!!!❤

Благодарю автора канала за снятые видео. Вы познакомили нас с очень красивыми местами своей страны и других стран. Всё же, как красива наша матушка Земля! Её беречь нужно и дальше создавать красивое пространство. Очень приятно смотреть те места, где люди всеми возможными средствами пытаются украсить и содержать в чистоте ту территорию, где проживают. А так же потрясающе природные красивые места. Сейчас туризм практически сложился, а благодаря таким каналам , мы продолжаем знакомится с новыми странами и их красотами. Еще раз благодарность автору канала.
With pleasure
Din Romania va mulțumim numai bine
THANK YOU! We lived in Sighisoara for over a year and your vlog brought back many wonderful memories. Meandering the old streets and alleys was our pastime. Again thanks!

A little mystical Romania deserves to be discovered 💛 Sighisoara is one the ancient, dignified and preserved in time fortress towns.. beautiful, charming and fascinating. I like your videos , thanks.. good luck 👍🙂
Only Sighisoara is not an ancient town, since it's only 1,100 years old.
@@m.dewylde5287 Yes, you are right.. this is a wrong word usage (in a foreign language😊), a more correct expression would be "old", ,,medieval”.. sorry 😊
Questa città rumena è molto suggestiva! 👍👍👍

THE BEST TOURIST CHANNEL DARI KING MASTER 😄
Wow hermoso
Είναι υπέροχα ταξηδιανα τα συνεχίζετε να τα βαζετε
Very nice video. But one thing makes me wonder: why haven’t you climbed up the hill by the covered staircase? You passes it twice in your video. The entry is near the bar in the wall that was so picturesque that you’ve showed it twice in details. It’s a staircase with wood cover and the sign “Scala” (it was on the video). First, the staircase itself is a monument of history and architecture. Secondly, it brings you to the hill with a nice church and the lovely view (if I remember well).
Maybe next time
Beautiful 😍😍👍
cool travel

Am fost doar o zi in Sighisoara si planuiesc sa merg sa stau cat mai mult deoarece e un oras superb. Am filmat cateva cadre acolo si le-am pus intr-un video, pentru cei care vor sa vada cum arata orasul in luna februarie 2024: ua-cam.com/video/yHEx1mtYBKU/v-deo.htmlsi=owfogIMPmcdrkKeD

I wonder if this was the region that was once German.
I think this place belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire
@@TouristChannell no, this city was built by Transylvanian Saxons.
@@Zdamaneta ok, but in no case do I think that the Hungarians contributed to the creation of this place.
The city was built in the 10th-12th centuries by German Saxons, but the region (Transylvania) was under Hungarian occupation and part of the Austrian Empire. The Romanians were slaves in their own country and were not allowed in the city until later, in the 15th century.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not Dracula 👀 only mathematics 🧮🤓
Old historical hungarian city
it is not Hungarian
@@edityebesbernabe5612 wrong, it's transylvanian saxon.
Sorry, but Segesvar is an old, historical Hungarian city with many Hungarian habitans
@@edityebesbernabe5612 it was never hungarian but saxon.
@@Zdamaneta Sachsen wurden von Ungarischen König Anedrás reingeholt. Sie waren Untertanen von Ungarischen Königen. Sie haben Privilegien gekriegt. Aber sie waren verpflichtet an König Steuern zu zahlen und die Ungarische Gesetze zu Achten Nemlich Erdély (Sieben Bürgen) Gehörte bis 1920 zu Ungarn. Naja ihr Rumänen leugnet diese Tatsache gerne.
