On the train ride into the city of Medias, my eyes were immediately assaulted by a number of unattractive factories and communist housing blocks. Deep within this architectural morass, I saw a lovely medieval tower emerge. Perhaps there was something attractive in this city after all. After leaving the train and exploring, I was able to find a well-preserved historical center. Unfortunately, none of the potential tourist sights was open (fortified church, fortifications, synagogue), and cars dominated the medieval center of town. Not a tourist was to be seen. I think that if the city cobbled some of the central streets and and if some restaurants in the center opened, Medias could be more welcoming to tourists. At the moment though, it is not that exciting.
