Brașov - Brașov Citadel
Medieval stone fortress in Brașov county
What it feels like
Stone-cold corridors, narrow windows, the weight of centuries under every arch. The kind of place where the silence is part of the architecture.
Brașov's Old Town, with the Black Church (the largest in Romania), Piața Sfatului, the Blacksmiths' Bastion and the medieval walls, is the best-preserved medieval centre in Romania. The White Tower and the Black Tower complete the city's historic panorama.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
