Lazaret (Sibiu district)

Lazaret is a district in Sibiu, Romania. It is located in the eastern part of the city.

History

On the current location of the train station, there was a small Dominican monastery that was relocated into the citadel of Sibiu. The former monastery buildings were put to use as a lazaret, to house and quarantine the sick and isolate them from the general population of the citadel.

With the development of the city, the lazaret was pushed further to the outskirts, until it was put out of use, the region becoming a residential district.[1]

gollark: And after the panic-buying began there was, well, not much food available, so it made (makes?) *some* sense to buy some when it is.
gollark: There was a possibility (probably still is, and I imagine it's happened some places) of supply chains failing to get food to sale fast enough.
gollark: I don't think it's stupidity as much as possibly excessive self-interest causing panic buying.
gollark: Probably also to keep children away from parents, now.
