One of the highlights of Sibiu is the Bridge of Lies, an iron bridge built in 1859. The name stems either from tricky merchants who met here or young lovers professing their undying love. The legend goes that the bridge creaks if a lie is told. It's a pretty sturdy bridge so not sure why it would creak.
St. Mary's Evangelical Church, Sibiu's Gothic Lutheran cathedral, was built in stages from the 1300s to 1520.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral is the seat of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu. It was built in the style of a Byzantine church, inspired by the Hagia Sophia.

Sibiu is known for the eyes on its buildings, which were mostly built between the 15th and 19th centuries.
Some of the eyes look more sinister than others.
