Catedrala Sfânta Treime din Sibiu

The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Sibiu is the city's main Orthodox cathedral and an important landmark of Transylvanian religious architecture. Raised in the early twentieth century, the cathedral was built in a Neo-Byzantine style, visibly inspired by the great Hagia Sophia church in Constantinople, with an imposing central dome and a spacious, bright interior decorated with rich murals and a remarkable iconostasis. The edifice reflects the assertion of the Romanian Orthodox community of Sibiu at a time when the city was dominated by the Saxon tradition and Lutheran churches. The facade, with its towers and alternating brickwork, and the tall dome roofed in ceramic, stand out in the urban landscape. The cathedral lies near the historic centre, in an area easily reached on foot, forming part of the circuit of Sibiu's monuments. The interior, with its solemn atmosphere and fine acoustics, impresses visitors. As an active place of worship, the cathedral holds regular services, and visitors are asked to respect the quiet and dress appropriate to a sacred space.

Podul Minciunilor

The Liars' Bridge in Sibiu, spanning a street in the lower town in the heart of the historic centre, is the first cast-iron bridge in Romania and one of the oldest of its kind in Europe, cast in the mid-19th century at the region's famous foundries. The small pedestrian bridge, with elegant railings and ironwork ornaments, links the Lesser Square to the ramp descending to the lower town and offers a picturesque view of the tiled roofs and the city's famous "house eyes." Its colourful name has given rise to entertaining legends about dishonest merchants and lovers with empty vows, told by guides with humour. It is a small but emblematic spot where every visitor pauses for a photograph. It stands in the centre of Sibiu, steps from the Great Square; visiting is free and possible at any time.

Parcul Sub Arini

Sub Arini Park is Sibiu oldest and best-loved park, laid out in the mid-19th century along the Trinkbach stream and extended over time into a true urban forest. With century-old alders, plane trees, oaks and many rare tree species, long shaded paths and little bridges over the water, the park is a place for walking, sport and relaxation for locals in every season. It is renowned for its calm atmosphere and for the spectacular autumn colours that make it a favourite of photographers. Along the paths stand busts of great figures and a flower clock, while its closeness to the historic centre makes it easy to reach on foot. It is the perfect spot for a green break between visits to the city museums and squares. A full stroll takes under an hour, but is best enjoyed unhurried, especially in the morning or towards evening.
