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.

Hello! We are 4 students from Brasov, and we decided to make this blog for everyone who is planning to come to Brasov. On this blog we provide you information about the representative sights of Brasov along with some tips to get around the city. Besides us providing you information, you can also write us an email if you want us to come along with you trough the city and give you a more in depth tour of the city.  You might be wondering how we got this idea, and if we are qualified to provide you information about our city. This blog started of as a school project and we decided to keep it so we can help other people. Also, we are all volunteer tour guides at the Black Church. This means that we went to a several month course where we were taught a lot about the city, and especially about the Black Church, so we would say that we can provide you lot of information about the city, maybe more in depth than you can find anywhere else.

Tâmpa    is a mountain, part of the  Postăvarul  Massif , located in the southern part of the  Eastern Carpathians  (alternatively categorized as in the  Curvature Carpathians ) and almost entirely surrounded by the city of  Braşov . Its elevation is 960 m (995 m according to some sources), almost 400 m above the city.   The mountain is mostly made up of  limestone  formations, having risen up gradually from the Earth's  crus t .   Most of the mountain (1.5 km²) is a declared  nature reserve , due to the rare animal species ( bears ,  birds ,  butterflies —35% of  Romanian  butterfly species) and plant species (a rare  Liverleaf  variety,  Transylvanian   Windgrass ) that are found there. A number of routes to the summit exist: there are 25 winding paths cut in 1837 by  Brașov's  forest administration;  Gabony's  stairs; the Knights' road, dating to the days of the  Brașovia  citadel; and an auto road. A  cable car  makes the journey between the cabin/rest
