Head through the portal below the Council Tower and you’ll come to the Small Square, which is actually pretty large and has a very irregular shape.

In the middle there’s a street that spirals down to the Lower Town, and crossing the big brick embankments is the beautiful Bridge of Lies, which we’ll talk about later.

The square is fringed by merchants’ houses from the 14th to the 16th centuries, with cool, shaded arcades on their ground floors and little dormers on their roofs, often described as the “eyes of Sibiu”. Make a bee-line for no.
