The Stairs Passage - Sibiu

The Stairs' Passage is a point of interest in Sibiu, Romania.


Also called the Pupils' Stairway, the passage was built in 1642 to facilitate access to the school built on a hill that was 24-metres tall.


Today the Passage has 175 stairs left. It is viewed as the most picturesque place in historic Sibiu and connects the Upper and Lower Towns via two ramifications of arcades and stairs surrounding the city walls. The passage hosts the oldest restaurant in Romania: The Golden Barrel.
