Hotel Împăratul Romanilor

Highlight • Monument

The building that now houses the Hotel Împăratul Romanilor was first mentioned in documents in 1555. In 1772, the Luxembourg innkeeper Philipp Collignon leased the then inn "La steaua albastra". He played an important role in developing its reputation. Emperor Joseph II stayed here on May 31, 1783, while traveling through Transylvania, and the owner decided to change the name to "Zum Römischen Kaiser" in honor of this event. The city magistrate bought the house in 1857 and expanded it to host political meetings, including the sessions of the Transylvanian Diet. The old building was demolished in 1891 and replaced by a more modern building, in keeping with the needs of the time, which was inaugurated on September 7, 1895 and features sophisticated architecture and elegant interiors. The three-star hotel has 86 rooms and is located directly on the pedestrian zone Strada Nicolae Balcescu.

The Thick Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Thick Tower (Turnul Gros) was built around 1540 as part of the city's fortifications. By that time, the Ottoman threat had increased, so their defense system was reinforced with bastions that could also carry artillery pieces. Cannons were placed on the platform of the Thick Tower to fire at attackers. With its semicircular shape (similar to the letter U), the tower protrudes about 25 meters above the city's outer wall. The city's first theater was set up in the tower building in 1788, founded by the printer Martin Hochmeister. Theater performances were held here until 1949. After a fire, the "Independenta" factory club was installed on the tower's platform. Since 2004, the Thalia Hall of the Sibiu State Philharmonic Orchestra has been located here.
