Overview

  • Step into a city that never sleeps—because it never blinks. Sibiu is famous for its iconic 'Eyes', mysterious attic windows that seem to follow your every move. But are they whimsical architectural quirks, medieval ventilation systems, or instruments of psychological control? Join Clara, a design-focused sceptic, and Luca, a passionate historian, as they unravel the secrets of the Upper and Lower Towns. From grand patrician squares to claustrophobic medieval passages, discover how a city's architecture shaped its survival, its commerce, and its darkest eras of surveillance.
