in the gallery one building termed as medieval, the 1st, actually a "cheap" 19 century --Vargatamas 23:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

verification

please, make a note to the statement "and issued the first document listing the city's Romanian name, Sighişoara." The Hungarian charters were issued by officials of the Kingdom of Hungary in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary not by foreign citizens, so it is inprobable it was a charter. It could be a letter?

Please, anyway, put the libary it is stored or some reference.

Otherwise it is unlikely, that he used the Romanized Hungarian name (Segesvar=> Sigisoara quite close) not the German name Schäßburg, who actually populated the town (until the medieval town rights were abolished in 1848). The town was under the jurisdiction of the elected Saxon count who reported to the Vajda / from Slavic voivode/ and no Hungarian was between in the hierarchy. So I assume the Romanian name is much younger, where it could be taken from Hungarian --Vargatamas 10:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Orthography

This article does not comply with Romanian orthography. Romanian uses ș (s-comma) and ț (t-comma), not ş (s-cedilla) and ţ (t-cedilla). --Sohoscribbler (talk) 00:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

True. But check your talk page. — AdiJapan 08:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

travelogues

There are several travel books can be purchased, in connection with the place. Before traveling to obtain such a thing would not hurt. h ttp://goo.gl/qywWc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.32.132 (talk) 08:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Panoramic view

The panoramic view in "Sights" displays badly on some devices and I thought it might be an idea to use a different syntax which allows the image to adjust to the width of the page. Please see below what it might look like. If you are viewing on a wide or widish screen and you shrink your viewing area, you will see that the image adjusts to the page width. Has anyone any comments on this idea? If I get no response, I will make the change, but it could always be reversed at any time. Incidentally, the location name is spelt slightly wrongly in the article and the file name.

Sighișoara is a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved walled old town, which is also listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The main Citadel's attractions are certainly the towers.

As I have had no reaction to my suggestion, I shall implement it. LynwoodF (talk) 13:40, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
