Sculptor Zoltán Sárpátki designed this memorial for twelve-year-old Jánoska Vaszi, who died in a bomb attack at this site in 1984. His description of the sculpture: "A flower has broken, a flower has died." The memorial is made of red andesite and black basaltic andesite, both from Bixad, because Jánoska's parents came from this area. The sculpture was unveiled on June 5, 2022, exactly 38 years after the explosion.

The large bronze equestrian statue depicts Michael the Brave on horseback, surrounded by his advisors and generals. Mihai Viteazul, born in 1558 in Târgu de Floci, Wallachia, was voivode, or ruler, of Wallachia from 1593 to 1600. For a brief period (in 1600, to be precise), he was the de facto first joint ruler of the three medieval states that make up present-day Romania: Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia. Therefore, Michael the Brave became an idol for all nationalists who sought the unification of these territories in the 20th century.

Freedom Square (Piața Libertății), which encloses Elizabeth Park to the north and east, is the central square of Sfântu Gheorghe. Its northern end is lined with prestigious historic buildings; at the northeast corner, a fountain spouts water from floor jets, entertaining children and refreshing everyone. At the northern entrance to Elizabeth Park, the word "SEPSI" is written in life-sized individual letters, short for the local football club Sepsi OSK (Asociația Club Sportiv Sepsi OSK din Sfântu Gheorghe). The second-division club's greatest success was winning the Romanian Football Cup in 2022.

Elisabeta Park is the green heart of the city. In the 19th century, the city center was dominated by a six-hectare square where weekly and national fairs were held. It was one of the largest squares in Transylvania, surpassing even the central square in Cluj-Napoca. Later, the area was landscaped; the upper avenues were terraced, and rows of chestnut trees were planted. In the 1890s, the square around the Parish Church of St. Joseph was redesigned following the example of English parks; trees and flowers were planted, and promenades were created. In 1899, weeping willows and oak trees were planted in memory of Empress (and Hungarian Queen) Elisabeth (Sisi), who was assassinated in 1898. The park contains several statues and monuments. The renovation of the park, which is now a popular spot for residents and visitors, was completed in 2010.

The equestrian statue depicts Saint George, clad in chain mail, slaying a dragon. Erected in May 2012, it is a copy of the original from Prague, dating from 1373, made by the stonemason brothers Martin and Gheorghe Kolozsvári.

This monument commemorates Lajos Kossuth (1802 to 1894), a Hungarian revolutionary of German and Slovak descent. During the 1848 Revolution, he was the de facto governor of Hungary. As editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Pesti Hírlap," he fought against feudal privileges and for civil rights. After the suppression of the revolution, Kossuth went into exile. He campaigned for Hungarian independence throughout his life.

The Sfântu Gheorghe Fortress is a complex of historic buildings. At its center is the late-Gothic Fortified Reformed Church from the 15th century. Its architectural style was probably finalized in 1547, when its patron, Pál Daczó, had it rebuilt at his own expense. Originally, the church, renovated between 2018 and 2021, was surrounded by two rings of fortifications with two defensive towers and served as a refuge during Tatar attacks. The outer wall was demolished by the community in 1786, and its stones were used—by order of Emperor Joseph II—to build the German School building, located next to the bell tower and now serving as the cantor's residence and a prayer hall. The wall facing the cemetery is lined with carved wooden gravestones. These seventy-odd gravestones are intended to commemorate the deceased students and teachers of the Mikó Székler College (Székely Mikó Kollégium). Beside them is a funeral chapel and the remaining inner enclosure wall with the bell tower.

Our guesthouses in the Transylvanian village of Miklósvár / Micloșoara date back to the 1800’s and before. The buildings have been carefully restored in order to preserve their original charm and character. The cottages are situated within spacious gardens, some with storks nesting on nearby rooftops. They have been beautifully furnished with antiques in the Transylvanian Szekler and Saxon styles. To ensure that our guests have a warm and comfortable stay also in winter, we have enhanced the original wood stoves by a hidden central heating system. The village has little infrastructure, therefore we cannot (and do not wish to) claim technical perfection. The restored castle (hunting manor) and its park are located at a short stride down the main road. There can be no denying the rustic charm and original character, which offers an opportunity to step back in time, as if you were in a 19th century novel and had come to visit friends in Transylvania's countryside. https://guest.transylvaniancastle.com/
