Beautiful sunrise over Sibiu’s main square this morning after Mass. Sibiu was settled in the 12th century by Saxons and has a very German feel to it as a result. It seems the weather must be too cool for most tourists now as we only saw a handful around the Old Town today.

After a slow start to the day, which was nice for a change! We set off to see the old walls and towers.

Gio and Noelle checking out Sibiu’s own “walk of fame” with plaques to any theatrical actor who has any form of tie to the town. The only person I had ever heard of was Denis O’Hare so it was a little lost on us.

We then made our way down Strada Nicolae Balcescue. Which is the main shopping strip. Dotted with dozens of gelato stands. Despite the freezing temps Gio and Noelle are always up for a scoop anytime they can convince us.

Stunning Holy Trinity Orthodox cathedral. Only 120yrs old and so beautiful.

 

Climbed the clock tower at the Lutheran  church for gorgeous views.

Loved this list of Organists and Cantors at the church for the past few hundred years!

Next stop was the Bruckenthall Palace which is now used as an Art Gallery.

Gio loved this depiction of a young St John the Baptist (his patron Saint)

All intrigued by the Elephant skull.

And Noelle found a Narwhale horn: if you know;  you know.

Back to the main square for an Aperol Spritz and some pigeon chasing.
