Brașov, Medieval municipality in Brașov County, Romania

Located in central Romania at 600 meters elevation, Brașov extends across 74 square kilometers between the slopes of the Transylvanian Alps.

The Teutonic Knights established the settlement in 1211, developing it into one of the seven fortified citadels of Transylvania with extensive protective walls.

The Black Church, constructed between 1385 and 1477, represents the largest Gothic religious building in Romania with its smoke-darkened walls from 1689.

The city connects to major transportation networks through its new international airport in Ghimbav, railway station, and local bus system.

Rope Street measures between 3.6 and 4 feet in width, making it one of the most narrow streets in Europe used by firefighters in past centuries.
