Museum Square - Sighișoara
The fortress of Sighişoara shelters old houses that in the past were inhabited by wealthy families. The Houses of Fortress Square and the Museum Square are the result of the changes after the great fire of 1676. Most houses after the fire have changed their facades. Each house in the fortress is characterized by a special architecture.
The Fortress Square has for some time housed the "pillar of infamy" and "tribune" on which the capital processes were judged in public. Fortress Square was also a powerful medieval commercial space. The medieval statutes specified the place where the goods were produced inside the fortress. Citadel Square has regained its old function of trade nowadays, but in another form: to sell handicrafts - souvenirs for those who visit the city.
