In the old days, Brasov was an important center, a commercial hub; Now it is an important tourist spot on the map, a city located in the heart of Transylvania, which connects to many areas of the country. Being a 13TH century medieval town, it was built just like all others, with towers. Now, these are all considered true historical monuments and each year attracts more and more tourists.

We decided to do a virtual tour of the city, a plan for a city break weekend.
Let’s start from point 0 of Brasov, The Main Square
Heret events are hosted and various manifestations depending on the season.
In the middle of the square lies the Council House, the County Museum of history. Also in the Square we can visit the Church of Mary and the Muresenilor House.

A representative symbol of Brasov is embodied by the black church, being one of the most representative monuments of Gothic architecture from Romania and the largest Gothic edifice of worship in South-Eastern Europe.
In the Black Church can fit approximately 5.000 people. The building was partly destroyed by the fire in 1689; this incident gave the church this representative name.

To visit this objective you will pay a fee of 10 lei, without Guide. Unfortunately, visitors cannot take pictures inside, but they can admire murals paintings and hear the music of an old organ that has 4.000 tubes.
We recommend the famous Christmas concert where tickets are limited.

The Black Tower, located a few dozen meters from the White Tower, dates from the 15th century, to prevent attackers to approach the fortress walls of the city. Moreover, its high walls, over 10 meters gave an alarm in the event of danger, attack, or fire In the year 1559, black tower was struck by lightning and caught fire. This is why today we call it the black tower.
