We went back to Sibiu this week. We first went there in 2002, when Debra had a Fulbright. But this was our first visit since the city was refurbished. It was the European Cultural Capital in 2007, and all the attention has really made the city shine. This is the Piata Mare, the big square.
Many old houses in Sibiu have these very distinctive attic windows. They call them the "eyes of Sibiu."
A tiled roof that's part of the Evangelical Church.
And here's Strada Balcescu, leading up to Piata Mare. We had such a great time, and I have so many wonderful pictures of Sibiu. I'll try to do another Sibiu post before we leave this Sunday for Krakow.
(By the way, none of these pictures have been photoshopped. These gorgeous colors are "real"--or at least as real as my digital camera recorded.)
