The Lazaret neighborhood – a neighborhood in full development on the real estate market of Sibiu

The story of the Lazaret neighborhood is a quite interesting one. This name was given due to the fact that on the land where the Atlassib bus station is currently located, in the past there was a Dominican monastery, which was later moved inside the fortress of Sibiu.

According to DEX, the word lazaret is explained as follows: isolated shelter in some border towns, intended for people, ships and goods from a region where there is plague and quarantine.

Nowadays, this neighborhood stretches from behind the station to the city ring road.
