    Very good!!
    Beautiful church. Guide Linus (if I can remember correctly) explained all the history of the church and city and showed us around the church. Really knowledgeable guide. Very interesting stories and details we would have otherwise missed. Highly recommend visiting!!

    Sibiu Evangelical Cathedral is the most beautiful and impressive in Transylvania
    The cathedral was built in 1520 on the building of a 12th century Romanesque church. In the foreground stands the statue of George Daniel Tautz, Bishop of Sibiu from 1899. The cathedral is Gothic-style and has five towers, the highest of which is 73 meters high and is seen from almost everywhere in the city The eastern wall of the church is covered with a huge painting (more than 9 meters high), painted by the painter "Rosano" in 1445, showing the crucifixion of Jesus. The largest organ in all of Southeastern Europe, located in the Baroque style dating from 1671, has six thousand pipes and in the summer months of June-September, there are concerts for organ organisms on Wednesdays.
