Eyes Of Sibiu
The Eyes of Sibiu are the iconic eyebrow dormers on the roofs of Sibiu's houses. Sibiu lies in Transylvania, a historical region of Romania. The eyes, which are a symbol and a tourist attraction of the city, have given Sibiu the nicknames of ''The City with Eyes'', ''The City Where Houses Don't Sleep'' and the portmanteau ''Seebiu''. They vary in shape – most of them are trapezoid-shaped, others having rounded or elongated forms. In Romanian, they are called ''Ochii Sibiului'', while in German they are known as ''die Augen von Hermannstadt'', Hermannstadt being the German name of Sibiu. History Although the eyes originate from as early as the 15th century, most of them were built in the 19th century. They were most likely invented by a local of Sibiu, because they are widespread in the city and its surroundings. They are an element of Baroque architecture. Some of them were even built as late as the 20th century, after Sibiu became part of the Kingdom of Romania. Purpose ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
