Romania Travel Guide - Visiting the Sighisoara Clock Tower
Take a tour of Sighisoara Clock Tower in Sighisoara, Romania -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Of all the sights in Sighisoara, the most popular and impressive is the clock tower.
It's an impressive structure, standing over 200 feet tall near the town's central plaza.
The clocktower was built into the thirteenth century and has been through several changes since. The roof was redone in Baroque style after it was damaged in a fire, and in the late 19th century vibrant tiles were added.
The tower's clock features a mechanical display of several different miniature wooden people.
A worthy sight on its own, the Sighisoara Clocktower is also home to a history museum.

A chronicler lists a Saxon settlement in present-day Sighișoara by 1191. A document of 1280 records a town built on the site of a Roman fort as Castrum Sex or six-sided camp, referring to the fort's shape of an irregular hexagon.By 1337 Sighișoara had become a royal center for the kings, who awarded the settlement urban status in 1367.

Visiting the Dracula Castle in Transylvania, Romania
DRACULA'S BIRTHPLACE & Other Sights in Sighisoara, Romania // 096
Count Dracula, Vlad Dracul, Vlad the Impaler, or Vlad Tepes, no matter what you call him, he was born HERE! The massive number of gravestones cloaking the same hill upon which Dracula was born was creepy enough. But something about the dark cobblestone, the ironic stone head of Vlad, and the touting of Dracula's birthplace gave the whole place an extra eerie feel.
While exploring the sights of Sighisoara, it's just impossible to skip Dracula's birthplace. You have the option of even seeing the room in which he was born! They really boast about this, even down to selling baby's tshirts with vampires on them.
It made for a strange twinge on your normal tourist attraction. Not all the sights in Sighisoara are related to our buddy Vlad the Impaler, but others are just very old churches, a clocktower that still chimes, and a municipal building. Altogether, Sighisoara, Romania is definitely a city worth visiting, if not for your vampire curiosities, then for the surrounding mountains!

Cetatea Sighișoarei este un complex medieval de arhitectură militară, civilă și ecleziastică inclus în patrimoniul UNESCO. Este cea mai veche cetate locuită în întregime și continuu din sud-estul Europei. Cetatea și burgul medieval au fost construite de coloniștii sași începând din secolul XII. Așezarea cunoaște o dezvoltare rapidă, astfel că deja în secolul XV ajunge la forma pe care o vedem noi astăzi. Înflorirea cetății este datorată în mare măsură sistemului breslelor meșteșugărești. Acestea, au fost responsabile și de ridicarea și întreținerea zidurilor cetății (totalizând 930 m) și a celor 14 turnuri de apărare (din care se păstrează 9). Cel mai important dintre turnuri, Turnul cu Ceas, apară poarta principală a cetății și este simbolul acesteia. Dacă în perioada medievală era sediul ”primăriei”, în prezent găzduiește Muzeul de Istorie. În cetate sunt peste 160 de case vechi de peste 300 ani, monumente istorice. Videoclipul realizează un tur al Cetății, fiind atinse majoritatea obiectivelor de interes turistic.

시기쇼아라는 드라큘라의 모티브인 블라드3세가 어린시절을 보낸 곳으로 잘 알려져 있으며, 그의 생가는 현재는 식당으로 운영되고 있다. 그의 기념비와 기념품가게도 있지만 이 도시를 대표하는 장소는 시계탑이다.
구시가지는 언덕위에 위치해있고, 길들은 모두 자갈들이 채워진 돌길이라 바퀴달린 가방을 끌고 진입하기에는 힘들다.
시타델스퀘어(중앙광장)은 사람들이 모여 즐기는 공간이다.

Sighişoara Medieval Festival or Festivalul Sighişoara medievală is a Romanian festival held on the last weekend of July in Sighişoara, Romania.
During the 12th century, German craftsmen and merchants known as the Transylvanian Saxons were invited to Transylvania by the King of Hungary to settle and defend the frontier of his realm. The chronicler Krauss lists a Saxon settlement in present-day Sighișoara by 1191. A document of 1280 records a town built on the site of a Roman fort as Castrum Sex or six-sided camp referring to the fort's shape of an irregular hexagon.Other names recorded include Schaäsburg (1282), Schespurg (1298) and Segusvar (1300). By 1337 Sighișoara had become a royal center for the kings, who awarded the settlement urban status in 1367 as the Civitas de Segusvar.
The city played an important strategic and commercial role at the edges of Central Europe for several centuries. Sighișoara became one of the most important cities of Transylvania, with artisans from throughout the Holy Roman Empire visiting the settlement. The German artisans and craftsmen dominated the urban economy, as well as building the fortifications protecting it. It is estimated that during the 16th and 17th centuries Sighișoara had as many as 15 guilds and 20 handicraft branches. The Baroque sculptor Elias Nicolai lived in the city. The Wallachian voivode Vlad Dracul (father of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), who lived in exile in the town, had coins minted in the city (otherwise coinage was the monopoly of the Hungarian kings in the Kingdom of Hungary) and issued the first document listing the city's Romanian name, Sighișoara.The Romanian name is first attested in 1435, and derives from the Hungarian Segesvár, where vár is fort.
Piața Hermann Oberth during the 20th century
The city was the setting for George I Rákóczi's election as Prince of Transylvania and King of Hungary in 1631. Sighișoara suffered military occupation, fires, and plagues during the 17th and 18th centuries. An important source for the history of 17th-century Transylvania, for the period of 1606-1666, are the records of Georg Kraus, the town's notary.
The nearby plain of Albești was the site of the Battle of Segesvár, where the revolutionary Hungarian army led by Józef Bem was defeated by the Russian army led by Luders on 31 July 1849. A monument was constructed in 1852 to the Russian general Skariatin, who died in the battle. The Hungarian poet Sándor Petőfi is generally believed to have been killed in the battle, and a monument was constructed in his honor at Albești in 1897. After World War I Sighișoara passed with Transylvania from Austria-Hungary to the Kingdom of Romania.
Central Sighișoara has preserved in an exemplary way the features of a small medieval fortified city. It has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Each year, a Medieval Festival takes place in the old citadel in July.
View from Villa Franka
Sighișoara is considered to be the most beautiful and well-preserved inhabited citadel in Europe, with authentic medieval architecture. In Eastern Europe, Sighișoara is one of the few fortified towns that are still inhabited. The town is made up of two parts. The medieval stronghold was built on top of a hill and is known as the Citadel . The lower town lies in the valley of Târnava Mare river.
The houses inside Sighișoara Citadel show the main features of a craftsmen's town. However, there are some houses that belonged to the former patriciate, like the Venetian House and the House with Antlers.
In 2001-2003 the construction of a Dracula theme park in the 'Breite' nature preserve near Sighișoara was considered but ultimately rejected, owing to the strong opposition of local civil society groups and national and international media as well as politically influential persons, as the theme park would have detracted from the medieval style of the city and would have destroyed the nature preserve.
