Discovering Sibiel's Glass Icons

In Sibiel, a village located just 20 kilometers from Sibiu, tourists passing through this area can discover the largest collection of glass icons in Transylvania.

• Mărginimea Sibiului

Some of the icons are over 200 years old, and currently, the collection in Sibiel boasts more than 400 glass icons. Each year, over 15,000 tourists visit the museum to enjoy the collection in priest Zosim's house.
