Mureș County is Travelog's home for Sighișoara, whose Historic Centre was inscribed by UNESCO in 1999 under criteria (iii) and (v), recognized both as outstanding testimony to Transylvanian Saxon culture and as an outstanding example of a small fortified city sitting in the border region between Central European and Byzantine-Orthodox traditions.
