Besides its cleverly designed architecture, Alba Carolina does not seize to impress through its attractiveness.
Italian and Austrian artisans built the whole complex in 23 years. The walls, slightly oblique, are made out of brick and stone by a technique without unevenness, to cause the cannonballs to ripple.
From Alba Carolina, you will head towards Sibiu.

Yesterday’s visit to Alba Carolina was a perfect introduction to the defense mechanisms of the Transylvanian fortifications. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Sibiu, and drive you to Corvin Castle.
Corvin Castle is one of the most impressive in Transylvania and a Gothic masterpiece.
Its name derives from the name of the one who ordered its construction, John Hunyadi, and his son, Matthias Corvinus, the King of Hungary between 1458 and 1490.
Corvin Castle is split into 3 broad areas: the Knight’s Hall, which was used for feasts, the Diet Hall, which was used for ceremonies, and the circular stairway. All of the halls have a rectangular shape, and their walls are beautifully decorated with marble.
