The local community is made up of diverse ethnic groups. The vast majority of the population is represented by Romanians (94%) who live with the Germans, descendants of settlers who emigrated in the twelfth century from Luxembourg, Lorraine, Alsace. They are joined by Hungarians and a very small Jewish community, all of whom contribute specific cultural influences to city life. The same diversity characterizes religious life. Along with the Orthodox, in Sibiu the Reformed, Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics and Evangelical Lutherans freely practiced their faith. The social structure of the city is based on an experience of historical and multicultural life.

The city is located in the temperate-continental area, with thermal influences due to the depression area and the mountains that surround it to the south and southwest.
Sibiu has some of the most beautiful museums and a well-preserved architecture, as well as a considerable number of restaurants and an intense nightlife.


Full of historical monuments, the Great Square is the center of Sibiu and proof of the status of European Capital of Culture. Originally conceived as the grain market, it later became a meeting place and public execution, although the pillar of infamy, where criminals were punished, no longer exists.
Walking along the square you will be able to admire a mixture of renovated houses, from the XV-XVII centuries. Many have roofs in curious shapes, provided with jams of various shapes, known as the eyes of the city.

The magnificent Brunkethal Museum, in Baroque style, was originally a building belonging to Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, the Austrian governor of Transylvania between 177-1787. The palace has two inner courtyards, and on its stone facade is carved the heraldic symbol of the Brukenthal family. Brukenthal Museum is the oldest museum in Romania. Many works of art came from Brukenthal's private collection. Currently, here is the richest art collection of Transylvania. Along with paintings from the 15th-18th centuries, made by masters from Western Europe and some Romanian creations from the 19th-20th centuries, there is a valuable collection of oriental furniture and carpets.
