fortress, with towers, bastions, churches and houses, all well-kept until nowadays. The Clock-Tower, the entrance to the fortress represents the symbol of the town. At the 4th floor there is a unique clock made of figures and this clock is the one that gave the tower its name.

The Vlad Dracul House is a really superb restaurant which also provides service on a wonderful terrace decorated with plants and colorful flowers. It gives you a feeling of warmth and welcome. The food is mainly local and is truly delicious and the service is also good and prices adequate.
Casa cu Cerb is a hotel and restaurant. The restaurant is generally agreed to be the best in Sighisoara and, of course, Prince Charles ate here on his visit in 2002. The food is superb and the service is excellent. I had the most delicious dinner here that I have eaten at any restaurant in Romania: meat and dumplings in paprika sauce followed by chestnut puree with whipped cream and rum sauce.
