You're standing in the historic centre of Sighișoara, the medieval citadel of this Romanian town. Saxon settlers started building here in the twelfth century. And here's the nice part: this isn't an empty film set. People still live inside these old walls. Since 1999 the citadel has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a record of some 850 years of Transylvanian Saxon history and culture.
