Over the years there have been numerous buildings that have become, in time, monuments and tourist attractions.

Brasov wasn’t always the name of the city. For a period of 10 years, between 1950 and 1960, Brasov was named “the Stalin City”, becoming the capital of the Stalin Region, which included the cities of Odorhei, Miercurea Ciuc and St. George.

Brasov Old Town

The Council Square can be considered Point Zero of Brasov. It is the most visited place in the city and here come over 1 million tourists each year. It is also the heart of the city and the place from where all the road distances to all corners of the country are measured.

In the Council Square there used to be the Pillar of Infamy, where witches were judged and public corporal punishments were committed for various offenses.

Originally built as a watchtower, the building known today as the “House of the Council” (one of the city’s symbols) was transformed into a town hall as the city grew. Today, the edifice hosts two major objectives: the County Museum of History (1950) and the Tourist Information Center (2005).

The Weavers Bastion is one of the seven towers built around Brasov, in order to protect the city from invaders. It is also one of the best preserved and nowadays it sometimes hosts concerts and medieval shows.

The Black Church – the largest Gothic church in in Southeastern Europe

The church can house around 5,000 people. It has the largest bell (6 tons) of Romanian and the largest organ (4,000 tubes) in Southeastern Europe.

Tampa offers beautiful views of Brasov

Tampa is a mountain belonging to the Postavaru Mountain Cain. The maximum height reached is 960 meters, almost at 400 meters above the city. Much of Tampa is set up as a natural reserve. The Tampa Nature Reserve is the only one in the world in the center of a city.

Tourists can climb to Mount Tampa on foot, if they want to have a walk through the forest or using the Cable Car that conects the city to the mountain. A journey with the Cable Car takes less than 3 minutes, depending on the weather conditions and covers a ground of 573 meters.

On the other hand, some say that the journey on foot is much more beautiful and worth the effort. If you decide to climb the mountain on foot, you will descover on one alley, among the wooden benches, a small stone-dug bank. It is said that this cliff has rolled from above, burying beneath it two lovers who were hugged in that place.

Council Tower – one of the city’s symbols

Situated between the most important two squares of the city, more precisely at the northeast corner of the Great Market, the Council Tower was always the main symbol of Sibiu.
