Sighisoara is a city with a magnificence medieval center located on a hill surrounded by old citywalls and has romantic narrow streets and passages, a beautiful 14th century clocktower and... the birthplace of Vlad Tepes. From the clocktower you have a beautiful view over the city-center . One of the medieval-houses in the center of Sighisoara is the Vlad Dracul's house, the birthplace of Vlad Tepes Dracula. A plaque at the front of the house gives notice of the fact that Vlad Dracul, his father, had lived here. Inside this house there is a restaurant nowadays were we eat our meal that evening. There is a fascinating thing on the upper corner of one of the walls; a part of a mural that was recently discovered under another layer of covering.
It shows a figure that experts believe is Vlad Dracul. If this is so, it is the only known visual representation of him.You can visitsome nice shops and also inspected the clocktower where a beautiful science museum is located. You can see there medieval surgery tools in there including scary amputation equipment.
At some places in the city you can see some beautiful plaques with the Dragon (Dracul) sign on it; the same sign they had on the plates in the Dracul-house restaurant. You can buy many genuine souvenirs there with the 'Dracul' on it.
