  Black Church (Biserica Neagra)

  The Black Church is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Brașov. With a history spanning over 600 years, this imposing Gothic place of worship is a symbol of the City under Tampa Mountain. Construction of the church began in 1384 and lasted almost a century, with the building finally completed in 1477. During that period, the church was Roman Catholic. In the 16th century, it was converted into a Lutheran Evangelical church. In 1542, the first service of this denomination in Romania was held here. In April 1689, Brașov was devastated by a massive fire. The Evangelical Church was not spared, and dense smoke and soot blackened its walls, giving rise to its name: the Black Church. Reconstruction after this major fire continued until 1722, with contributions from the entire community. The Black Church also hosts a rich collection of oriental carpets, murals, and other unique works of art waiting to be discovered.

  Piaka Sfatului

  Piața Sfatului is one of the most vibrant places to visit in Brașov. This historic square, full of life, is located in the city’s Old Town. Since medieval times, Piața Sfatului has been an important commercial center for the city and the surrounding region. It has always hosted markets and attracted merchants from far and wide.

At the center of the square stands the Council House (Casa Sfatului), while other remarkable buildings add to its allure. Among these are Casa Mureșenilor, Casa Filstich-Plecker, Casa Negustorilor (Casa Hirscher), and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Nearby, visitors can also explore the Black Church.

• Rope Street - Strada Sforii (Pass by)

  Strada Sforii has become one of the most interesting and popular places to visit in Brașov. This narrow and picturesque street captivates visitors with its unusual dimensions. Rope Street is considered one of the narrowest streets in Europe, measuring just over one meter in width and approximately 80 meters in length. The street dates back to the 17th century and is believed to have originally served as a corridor to help firefighters move quickly in case of a fire. Over time, it has become a famous tourist attraction. In addition to its unusually narrow width, the street’s medieval charm adds to its appeal. A stroll along Strada Sforii offers a unique and memorable experience — and a perfect opportunity for another iconic photo from Brașov. Strada Sforii is located just a five-minute walk from Council Square (Piața Sfatului), making it an easy stop while exploring other tourist attractions in Brașov.

  Brasov

  Catherine’s Gate and, later, Schei Gate were part of the walls of Brașov’s old citadel. Today, they are important historical monuments and remarkable tourist attractions in the city. Catherine’s Gate was built in the early 16th century and served as the only entrance to Brașov’s citadel from the southwest until the 19th century. As the city grew, Catherine’s Gate became too small to accommodate the many merchants passing through the citadel. It was eventually decided to demolish the old gate and build a new one nearby. In the early 19th century, Schei Gate was constructed, and it still stands today. The gate is situated perpendicular to the street of the same name and features a triumphal arch design with three openings: a central one for vehicles and two side arches for pedestrians. From Catherine’s Gate, only the tower of the outer gate remains today, which can be admired near Schei Gate.
