Imagini pentru Council Square brasovThe Brașov Council Square (Piața Sfatului in Romanian) is located in the historic centre of Braşov, Romania. It obtained its right to hold markets in 1520, but it has been the place for annual markets since 1364, being visited by merchants from the country and abroad.The houses surrounding the square are historic. A pillory, in the middle of the square, was used as a means for public humiliation, punishment and scorn.Witches were also punished here, but the head of the shoemaker guild, Stefan Stenert, who opposed the entry of the Austrian army into Brașov, was also beheaded here in 1688. Until 1892, there were two wells in the square. The most important building in the square is the Council House, which was built in 1420 and is located in the middle of the square. This now houses the Brașov County Museum of History. The Old Town, including the Black Church and main square or Council Square (Piața Sfatului), features medieval buildings in different architectural styles. Around the main square is the picturesque pedestrian-only Republicii street, the Black Church, former Council House, indoor and outdoor terraces and restaurants, the Orthodox Cathedral, Mureșan's House, the Hirscher House, and the Strada Sforii
