Add-On Day. Medieval Structures 1
Start your day with a stroll through the bustling old market, where the locals sell their produce every morning. Further into the land, you discover Alba Iulia; ex-capital of Transylvania, surrounded by an impressive and wonderfully restored 18th century Vauban (star-shaped) fortification. This is where, a hundred years ago, Romanians from all across the country celebrated the union with Transylvania, in the purpose-built complex. Along with the thousand-year old Catholic cathedral and the Roman ruins, they provide the perfect background for the frequently performed battle reenactments. After the changing of the guard, move on to the Gothic. Esthetically, Huniady castle is one of its best examples and also one of Europe’s largest. Before returning to Sibiu, you may choose to extend your journey by visiting the eerie looking Densus church, built on the spot and with the stones of an old Roman temple dedicated to Mars.
