The Historic Centre of Sighisoara is a beautiful and fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site in Romania. It's a fortified town on a hill, built in the 12th century by Saxon migrants from Germany. Famous as the birthplace of Vlad III (the Impaler, inspiration for Dracula), there's still an incredible medieval city to be found here, complete with towers, gates, laneways and churches. Let's go exploring!
