ROMANIA

A beautiful UNESCO cover from Romania, depicting a complete set issued in 2009 celebrating the Historic Centre of Sighisoara. The historic centre of the city of Sighișoara dates from the 12th century. It was founded by the Transylvanian Saxons, a community of German merchants and craftsmen. They have since lived in the region for over 850 years, though the community is decreasing in numbers due to emigration in modern times. Sighișoara is a well-preserved example of a small fortified medieval town shaped by the interactions of cultures from Central Europe and the Byzantine-Orthodox Southeastern Europe. The site is inscribed at UNESCO world heritage list since 1999. Resultado de imagem para sighisoara citadel
