Brasov: Piața Sfântul Ioan
Among the places of Brașov County, Piața Sfântul Ioan stands out for its cobbled pedestrian setting beside Brașov’s historic centre. Its modest scale, older plastered buildings, trees and contemporary urban details give this part of town a more local character than the larger Piața Sfatului. Brașov lies at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain, whose wooded slopes rise immediately south of the old town. In medieval Transylvania, the city became an important commercial centre for its Saxon community; its fortified core, tight streets and market spaces still shape the central districts. Piața Sfântul Ioan belongs to this compact urban fabric, close to central shops, cafés and public institutions.
