Segesvár (Sighişoara) is a medieval fortified city. It is amazingly well-preserved and absolutely beautiful.
The landmark clock tower was built in 1360 and stands tall atop the entrance to the citadel.
Segesvár is the only fortified city in Romania that is still inhabited.
It is also the birthplace of Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia,
a.k.a Vlad Ţepeș ["Vlad the Impaler"],
a.k.a Drăculea ["Dracula"].
A covered staircase within the citadel leads to an even more fortified portion of the city where a school, church, and cemetery are located.
