Sighisoara is a quaint little town located in the historic region of Transylvania. Home to the legend of Count Dracula, it is said that Vlad Tepes, the person who inspired the legend, was born in Sighisoara. Stepping into the small village, the air of mystery hangs over the place. I was curious and excited to explore further. Overall, it was another beautiful post-card edition village like many others I visited throughout Romania.

The Holy Trinity Church which we passed by on our way to the Church on a Hill.

The view of Sighisoara atop the hill under cloudy skies.

Sighisoara through the wormhole! Not. Haha. Saw a cool porthole overlooking the town on our way to the Clock Tower.

The ‘House with the Stag’ which sits on the corner in the main square after the gates.

Opposite the ‘House with the Stag’.

The Monastery Church is located in the Citadel Square not far from the Clock Tower.

A close-up of the Clock Tower’s roof. Such colourful wooden tiles.

One of the more medieval entries into the citadel.

At Taylor’s Tower, which is the second access road into the citadel.

The entrance of The Covered Stairway which leads to the Church on a Hill.

Up and up we go!

The Church on a Hill at the very top. A labyrinth of a cemetery sits next to this church.

 The Rope Maker’s Tower which sits just outside the Church on a Hill.

  And finally, the infamous birth place of Vlad Tepes/Vlad Dracul.
