What’s left of the old city walls of Sibiu’s historic city center now sits south of Grand Square (Piaţa Mare) along Citadel Street (Strada Cetății). They were built in the 14th century.
Towers
Along the walls are a few towers named after the guilds that built them, including the Carpenter’s Tower, Potter’s Tower, and Harquebusier’s Tower. All of the towers are 14th century originals except for the latter, which was replaced in the 16th century. They’re quite impressive to see.
Natural History Museum
One of the important buildings located on the street is the Sibiu Natural History Museum, which was built in 1895. It was completely renovated between 2006 and 2008, and is a branch of the Brukenthal National Museum. Admission is 20 lei (as of February 2024), and it’s open Wednesday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm.
Thalia Concert Hall
Thalia Concert Hall, which was built in 1787, is also found on the street. The Thalia Concert Hall houses the State Philharmonic of Sibiu and was built as one of the first theatres in this part of Europe.
Colorful Homes
The rest of the street is pleasant to walk along and includes several colorful homes.
