The Greek city of Patras said farewell to being Europe’s Culture Capital for year 2006.

The medieval Saxon city of Sibiu in Transylvania yesterday became one of Europe’s official capitals of culture. Celebrations, including fireworks, light shows and concerts, were planned for later in the day.

Also known by its German name of Hermannstadt, Sibiu symbolically represents Romania’s new status as an EU member. The other city of culture for 2007 is Luxembourg.
