Description
SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - Let's go to the beautiful country of Romania and let's visit its most popular tourist destination, the medieval city of Sighișoara which is located in the historic region of Transylvania. Sighișoara has a population of 28,102 and it is a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved walled old town, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
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. 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.
Romania is a southeastern European country known for the forested region of Transylvania, ringed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its preserved medieval towns include Sighişoara, and there are many fortified churches and castles, notably clifftop Bran Castle, long associated with the Dracula legend. Bucharest, the country’s capital, is the site of the gigantic, Communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building.
