The Brașov Council Square (Piața Sfatului in Romanian, former Marktplatz in German) obtained its right to hold markets in 1520, but it has been the place for annual markets since 1364, being visited by merchants from the country and abroad. The houses surrounding the square speak of a rich history. A pillory, in the middle of the square, was used as a means for public humiliation, punishment and scorn. Witches were also punished here, but the head of the shoemaker guild, Stefan Stenert, who opposed the entry of the Austrian army into Brașov, was also beheaded here in 1688. Till 1892 there were two wells in the square. The most important building in the square is the Council House, which was built in 1420 and is located in the middle of the square.
The Old Town, including the Black Church and main square or Council Square (Piața Sfatului), features medieval buildings in different architectural styles. Around the main square you can find the picturesque pedestrian-only Republicii street, the Black Church, former Council House, indoor and outdoor terraces and restaurants, the Orthodox Cathedral, Mureșan's House, the Hirscher House, the Strada Sforii and more. On Tâmpa Hill, located on the southern side of the city, there was a citadel called Brassovia, and the remains can be seen there today, along with the Weavers tower and the cable car station going up to the top of Mount Tâmpa.
A local tradition holds that the children that the Pied Piper of Hamelin (Germany) sent underground appeared near this Brașov square.In communist times, the Council Square was named Piața 23 August (23 August Square).
Brașov:
Brașov is a city in Romania and the administrative centre of Brașov County.
According to the last Romanian census, from 2011, there were 253,200 people living within the city of Brașov, making it the 7th most populous city in Romania, and the metropolitan area is home to 369,896 residents.Brașov is located in the central part of the country, about 166 kilometres (103 miles) north of Bucharest and 380 kilometres (236 miles) from the Black Sea. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians and is part of the Transylvania region.The city is notable for being the birthplace of the national anthem of Romania and for hosting the Golden Stag International Music Festival.
With its central location, Brașov is a suitable location from which to explore Romania, and the distances to several tourist destinations (including the Black Sea resorts, the monasteries in northern Moldavia, and the wooden churches of Maramureș) are similar. It is also the largest city in a mountain resorts area. The old city is very well preserved and is best seen by taking the cable-car to the top of Tâmpa Mountain.Temperatures from May to September fluctuate around 23 °C (73 °F). Brașov benefits from a winter tourism season centered on winter sports and other activities. Poiana Brașov is the most popular Romanian ski resort and an important tourist center preferred by many tourists from other European states.
The city also has several restaurants that serve local as well as international cuisine (e.g. Hungarian and Chinese). Some of these are situated in the city center.
The Brașov local transport network is well-developed, with around 50 bus and trolleybus lines. There is also a regular bus line serving Poiana Brașov, a nearby winter resort. All are operated by RAT Brașov. Because of its central location, the Brașov railway station is one of the busiest stations in Romania with trains to/from most destinations in the country served by rail.
The construction of Braşov Airport was initiated by Intelcan Canada on April 15, 2008. Although construction was planned to be finalized in 24 to 30 months, works have lagged and there is no term by which it will be operational. The project consists of a terminal capable of handling 1 million passengers per year and a 2,800-metre-long (9,200-foot) runway. The A3 highway is also planned to pass the city. However, there is no foreseeable date for starting construction.Wikipedia

Old City of Brasov | Romanian Road Trip E7
All Videos from my Romanian Road Trip can be found here-
With the huge Tampa Mountain overlooking it from one side, and a series of Saxon built towers and bastions on the other, there's lots to see and do before you even get to the old city of Brasov. Once there though it's fun to just walk around the small medieval streets and admire the beautiful buildings and quaint architecture in the Council Square. If I had my time again I'd schedule a slightly longer visit and stay for at least one night, the central square looked like it was just coming alive as I was leaving.

Sweet old city of Brasov, Romania
The city was first atested in the 13th century under the name Corona. The current Romanian and Hungarian names are derived from the Pecheneg word, barasu, meaning fortress.
The first attested mention of Braşov is Terra Saxonum de Barasu (Saxon Land of Baras), in a 1252 document. The German name Kronstadt means Crown City, and is reflected in the city's coat of arms, as well as in its Medieval Latin name, Corona. The three names of the city (Braşov/Brassó, Kronstadt, and Corona) were used simultaneously in the Middle Ages.
Germans living in Braşov were mainly involved in trade and crafts. The location of the city at the intersection of trade routes linking the Ottoman Empire and Western Europe, together with certain tax exemptions, allowed Saxon merchants to obtain considerable wealth and exert a strong political influence. They contributed a great deal to the architectural flavor of the city.
Brasov, Romania Travel - Visiting St. Nicholas Church in Brasov
Take a tour of Brasov St. Nicholas Church in Brasov, Romania -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Transylvania region of Romania is blessed with the earthy and plush city of Brasov.
Standing stern and magnanimously in the city's Union Square is the simple yet beckoning Saint Nicholas Church.
The journey of this structure began in the 14th century when it was a mere wooden church.
In the 15th century, efforts to reconstruct the building and transform it into a stone church began.
Today it is a sublime edifice which incorporates different architectural styles with Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance elements.
Emerging as an austere yet graceful monument, it modestly stands out to all of Brasov.

A couple of impressions from my visit to the cold and sunny old town of Brasov/Kronstadt in Romania in December 2005. / Un cuplu de impresii de la vizita mea în orașul vechi rece și însorită din Brasov / Kronstadt, în România, în decembrie 2005.
This was my first visit to Romania. Travelling from Cluj to Brasov by train was a unique experience. A several hours long ride passing through bare and brown-grey winter landscapes of Transilvania, with the low sun giving it an almost surrealistic feeling.
Visiting the old town of Brasov, I had the impression of being transfered back in time for about at least 50 years. This impression was augmented by the faint winter sun, which was touching the weathered colours of the buildings with a special light.
Besides the beautiful things I could see over there, I enjoyed very much the good and tasteful romanian soups and many other delicious dishes of the local cuisine.
