The first official record referring to the Sibiu area comes from 1191, when Pope Celestine III confirmed the existence of the free prepositure of the German settlers in Transylvania, the prepositure having its headquarters in Sibiu, named Cibinium at that time.[2] It was probably built near a Roman settlement, one that would be known during the early Middle Ages as Caedonia.
