Named since the 19th century "the Pearl of Transylvania", the Sighisoara fortress is situated on both banks of Tarnava Mare river, in south of Mures county, on the Citadel Hill. You have to walk up from the city (36.000 inhabitants) to the medieval citadel and enter through the 60-metre-tall clock tower (built in 1360).

The ocher-colored house named "Casa Vlad Dracul", where the father of Vlad Tepes, better known as Dracula, once lived, now is a cozy restaurant. You can find inside Gothic- style furniture and serve good soups and traditional Romanian dishes. The covered stairs with 176 steps were made in the 17th century.
