Built by hands that feared siege and worshipped saints. We’ll walk the same roads Vlad did as a child, pass the church that heard his family’s confessions, and peek into towers that once stood guard against invading forces and internal betrayal. Along the way, I’ll show you where myth and history collide, and what Sighișoara reveals when you look past the tourist signs. Go at your own pace. It never expires. Go anytime. It never expires.
