from the top












this is a photo from the archive and it shows brasov from the top of the hill .
you ca see very clearly the old town , the defensive walls ,two of the defensive towers on the opposite hill , the central square , the black church .
brasov is 800 years old and it was built by germans .
the smaller pictures shows how the medieval brasov looked like a few hundred years ago in a scale model and how it looks like on google earth .

RO,
Another fascinating post. I like the way you are letting us all learn more and more about your city. And what an excellent way to show us Braosv with the three different views! I look forward to seeing more posts of this area, Old Town, from close up.
Thanks,
Wayne
