Into the Tower of St. Mary’s Evangelical Church Sibiu, Daring, Hypnotic, and Legendary

Sibiu Lutheran Cathedral four turrets, symbology

St. Mary’s Evangelical Church of Sibiu, with its imposing presence shrouded in mystery, steeped in centuries-old legends, still beckons those who dare to explore its depths. As twilight descends on the city once known as Hermannstadt to the four corners of the world, its ancient streets echo of St. Mary’s Evangelical Church mysterious whispers. Undoubtedly, the cloak of twilight still draws curious souls to the towering silhouette of this Lutheran Cathedral.

A Stone Spiral in the Evangelical Cathedral Sibiu, #StaircaseSaturday #Im4Ro

medieval spiral staircase in Council Tower Sibiu

Climbing a spiral staircase is rather eerie, and more spine-chilling than descending it. Have you noticed?

The Medieval and Legendary Small Square of Sibiu

Small Square Sibiu view to Council Tower, Turnul Sfatului at night

I met the medieval, legendary, and quaint Small Square at night time, in the Citadel of Sibiu. Once part of the medieval city walls and of the second fortification of Sibiu, Hermannstadt, (built after the Mongol invasion), today it’s quiet, keeping to the shadows, taking shelter behind its many archways. The picturesque Small Square looks shy of new visitors. But as my footsteps echoed on its cobblestones, its fabulous history came alive in front of my eyes.
