Description

I’m very happy to present you a small part of my country, Romania. This is the second photo of Sibiu, European Cultural Capital in 2007. Traveling past the Carpathians through the Red Tower Strait, leaving behind what foreigners refer to as Wallachia, a visitor enters a whole new world -- Transylvania. The first thing to notice is the architecture. Saxon villages feature stone houses with shingle roofs, perfectly lined up along the street, and with back courtyards. The city of Sibiu has a distinctive medieval atmosphere. If not for the cars in the street or the fancy shops, it would be easy to imagine one has journeyed back in time. Lying at the foot of the Fagaras Mountains, Sibiu has stood sentry at the gate of this legendary province for nine centuries.
