I call it like that because it went for about 8 days. In fact the longest trip of my life. During these 8 days we (me and my girlfriend) visited 2 of the most interesting cities in our country, Medias and Sibiu. Medias is a medieval city dated for the first time around 1267 and now it looks like it was build around a fortified church "The Evangelical Church St. Margareta". Sibiu is another medieval city that was first dated in 1191 in an ecclesiastical document from Vatican, under the name of Cibinium.
We spent only 1 day in Medias because most of the tourist attractions were closed to the public and because it's a rather small city. We wanted to stay more in Sibiu, so on the 2nd day we went to Sibiu. Our main interest in Sibiu was the medieval festival that was scheduled for the end of that week (26th - 29th of August).

I really have no idea on how to describe this journey so i'll write everything as it comes to mind.
(Sibiu) We visited almost all of the towers from the old defensive line that was enclosing the medieval city, we saw one of the main gates (the only one standing too), we saw 2 bastions (one was transformed during the 18th - 19th Century in the local Philarmonica house so you could only see only a portion of the outer wall, and the other one is closed to the public). I would have liked to see them in detail, but chance wasn't on our side ^_^.

We visited the History Museum, the Museum of Pharmacy (one of the first ever built in Europe), The Franz Binder Museum of Universal Ethnography and the Brukenthal Museum. The rest of the museums we visited on another occasion. We were very impressed with the Museum of History and the Brukenthal Museum. We spent about 7-8 hours visiting only these 2 museums. I thought that i saw a lot of very interesting things ranging from visual representations of how the early man lived to pictures from very known painters.
We visited all of the old churches that we could find (all except one, we left that for the next time :P ), and we saw some very nice examples of Gothic architecture and interior design.

My girlfriend handmade a very nice medieval dress and wore during the festival and was admired by a lot of people.

After we finished visiting everything on our agenda, we participated at the medieval festival for which we went in the first place. We saw sword fights, plays, we listened to concerts with medieval music, we saw groups that played with fire and did all sorts of tricks with it, and we saw an interesting 5 minutes long fireworks show which marked the end of the Festival.
