Brasov your English-Speaking guide will show you the highlights of the old town.
Starting off with a walk down the main square, Piata Sfatului, one of the finest

will stop for a visit the Old City Hall.
The Black Church dominates the main square and is Brasov's most important
monument. It is the largest Gothic Church between Vienna and Istanbul. Called
the Black Church because of the Great Fire the city endured in 1689. It took
almost 100 years to reconstruct where only 1 of the towers was remade. The
Gothic letters on the front entrance was the only piece that resisted the fire.
The original construction being Gothic but the reconstruction was mainly
Baroque. Inside you will find an impressive bronze cask created by a local
craftsman in 1450.

Nichola's Church and The First Romanian School Museum.
