Hello, everyone, and welcome to Kronstadt, the medieval name for Braşov! Don’t worry—we’ll leave the myths of Transylvania for the photos; you’ll leave here with your blood intact and the legends alive.
Today we’re venturing into an authentic Saxon fortress nestled among the mountains, and we’ll be exploring: - The old city gate. - St. John’s Square. - The Franciscan Church: a church with two faces. - Matei Corvin’s Inn: the king who liked to be a peasant. - The Black Church: Romania’s most iconic Gothic masterpiece. - Piața Sfatului: a medieval court square—the perfect spot for a good cup of coffee. - Ecaterini Gate: the last remaining medieval gate, straight out of a fairy tale. - The Weavers’ Bastion: the fortress built to defend the city. - Behind the city walls. - The White Tower and the Black Tower: the eyes that always watch. See you in Brașov!!!
