Eye-shaped windows on the tiled roofs of Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania
Sibiu was once the administrative centre and capital of the Siebenbürger Sachsen, the German-speaking population of Transylvania. People have claimed that the eyes were purposely built by German occupiers in the region to instill fear into the people – for it to be known that they were always being watched and thus must behave appropriately. And then came the deranged Communist dictator Ceauşescu – and you know he used them to his advantage as well.
