The centre of the old walled city, the expansive Piaţa Mare is a good start for exploring Sibiu. Climb to the top of the former Council Tower, which links Piaţa Mare with its smaller sister square, Piaţa Mică. Clock clanks inside the white tower add to the views. It was originally built in 1370, but collapsed during a 1586 earthquake (killing a mural painter).
