Braşov, the "City of the Crown" is located in the centre of Romania.

Kronstadt in the old Daker-country was founded at the beginning of the 13th century by the Teutonic Order of Knights at the foot of the Carpathians. Trade followed in the 15th century, the population mixed, and it became one of the most important craft and trade metropolises of the Transylvanian Saxons.

From the town hall square you can reach the so-called "Black Church", the landmark of the city, through a narrow alley. The mighty sandstone sacred building received this name after the city fire, because the walls became fire-blackened ruins. It is the largest Protestant cathedral in South-Eastern Europe.

Today Braşov is a Transylvanian border town and one of the most important cultural and industrial centres in Romania.

Braşov has survived a lot: Attacks of the Ottomans, the plague, the big city fire, revolts and regimes.

A city between Europe and Orient.
