Overview

  • Step into the shadows of medieval Transylvania, where craftsmen were kings and every hammer strike was a matter of life and death. This isn't just a tour of pretty buildings; it's an immersive journey into the double life of Sibiu's legendary guilds. Discover how goldsmiths and tanners operated as ruthless economic monopolies by day, and heavily armed military units by night. From the opulent squares of the Upper Town to the dangerous alleys of the Lower Town, you'll uncover a secret world of five-point locks, strict social segregation, and the desperate fight to defend a city against the Ottoman Empire.
