Brasov Old Town

Currently Brasov is, after Bucharest, the country's largest city, a modern industrial city, but you must not miss its medieval historic center built when it was founded in 1211 by the order of the Teutonic Knights. The medieval center is the Square Sfatului and the town hall, formerly protected by the walls of the city, where once were held important fairs and markets to which all the nations of the region went. Around it there are old houses three or four storeys high in a mixture of different styles (Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque) emphasizing the Council House of the fourteenth century (now the Museum of History) or the iconic Black Church.
