The Grand Square, or Piata Mare, is the magnificent heart of Sibiu’s old town, one of the largest and most beautiful medieval squares in Transylvania. Ringed by grand Baroque and Renaissance buildings, including the Brukenthal Palace and the Council Tower, and dotted with cafes, it has been the centre of city life for centuries and hosts markets, concerts and the famous Christmas market. Spacious, handsome and full of atmosphere, it is the natural focal point of the city and a wonderful place to sit, stroll and soak up the beauty of old Sibiu.
