11PM: The Way Home, We've Left a Light on For You

Sighisora, Transylvania, Romania
.
Central Sighișoara has preserved in an exemplary way the features of a small medieval fortified city. It has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Sighișoara is considered to be the most beautiful and well preserved inhabited citadel in Europe,[citation needed] with authentic medieval architecture. In Eastern Europe, Sighișoara is one of the few fortified towns that are still inhabited. The town is made up of two parts. The medieval stronghold was built on top of a hill and is known as the "Citadel" (Cetate). The lower town lies in the valley of Tārnava Mare river.

The houses inside Sighișoara Citadel show the main features of a craftsmen's town. However, there are some houses that belonged to the former patriciate, like the Venetian House and the House with Antlers.

I like this one better, as I like the lighter lower left.
