Albert Huet Square can be considered the heart of the old citadel, formed on the pathway of the first fortified precinct of Sibiu, dating since the 12th century. The buildings were built on the spot of the old walls when the fortification lost its practical purpose, once with the complete consolidation of the Upper Town. In 1415 it is mentioned here the chapel having St. Iacob (Jakob) as a title saint, where Alderman Albert Huet, whose name was subsequently assigned to the square, established in 1592 the ecclesiastic and school library, which used to activate nearby since 1380. The only element that survived from the first defence belt of the city is the Stairs Tower, one of the few Roman constructions of Sibiu, dating since the 13th century. Representative for Huet Square is the Evangelic Church, which has a 73,34 m high bell-tower, that makes it visible from almost any corner of Sibiu. We also have here the statue of Bishop Georg Daniel Teutsch, carved in brass in 1899 by Adolf von Donndorf. Other important building of Albert Huet Square: Samuel von Brukenthal High School – which keeps the medieval architectonic elements belonging to the old school building, The parochial house – among the oldest buildings of Sibiu, The Rest Home Church – on the place where it allegedly used to be an older stone building, mentioned as a hospital in a document from 1292, being the oldest documented mention of a hospital in Romania. The Albert Huet Square ends with the Stairs Gangway, which offers a representative image of medieval Sibiu, being an exit gate towards the Lower Town.

The Large Square is the largest of the squares of Sibiu, opening a wide perspective, typical to the Renaissance and the following ages. Here we have the historical centre of Sibiu, mentioned for the first time in 1411 as a grain market. The Large Square exits since 1366, alongside the finalization of the third fortification belt of the city. Starting with the 16th century, the Large Square becomes the centre of the citadel.  Over hundreds of years it was called Der Grosse Ring or Grosser Platz, between the wars it was named King Ferdinand Square, the communists named it the Square of the Republic and since 1990 it came back to its original name.  The Northern side consisted initially, in 1466, by the erection of building for the Tailors Guild and of the civil constructions, and then, during 1726-1733, the Jesuit church and its seminary (today the parochial house) were built here.  On the Western side, on the area corresponding to two houses, the Brukenthal palace was built – a trademark of the city. Finally, during the first years of the 20th century the building of the Land Credit Bank was erected, construction that also created the current Samuel von Brukenthal Street.  The ‘town’s eyes’ worth mentioning – as the roof windows are better known as – which can be noticed best from this place.  The square has a maximum length of 142 m and it is 93 m wide. All the buildings of the Large Square are historical monuments.
