Brasov: Brașov Historical Centre: Piața Sfatului
Piața Sfatului sits at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain in Brașov, central Romania, where the medieval centre meets the wooded slopes of the Southern Carpathians. Long used as the city’s market and civic square, it is lined with merchant houses whose coloured façades reflect Brașov’s Transylvanian urban heritage. The 15th-century Council House stands at its centre and now contains the Brașov County Museum of History. Close by, the Gothic Black Church takes its name from the damage caused by the fire of 1689, while Tâmpa rises above the old town.
