from the "post's orchard" and the "army's house" we turn left on "muresenilor street" going up to "council square" .
it's a very old street but the sidewalks and asphalt are only a few months old so now we can walk safely .
this was the main entrance in the old town and between 14th century and 1836 there was a gate with tower (small photo) . the street was called "custom street" because after the gate was the custom house for the traders . in 1838 they built another gate (second small photo) but only until 1891 when , because they introduced the steam tramway and the locomotive couldn't fit under the gate , they demolished it .
the tramway rails were took out in 1927 because of the traffic .
it's a short but beautiful street , full of shops and with some great buildings , unfortunately some of them in bad shape . the church is "st peter and paul catholic church" and i will have a special post for it .
the decorations are very simple , only on the light poles .

Your night pictures are very nice, they dont have to have much for lights. The night time picture on my blog was taken around 10pm. Our town usually goes to bed early, we are all old.
I have been so busy I haven't had time to visit your blog yet. That was really my loss. Good work. Keep it up.

Great photos as usual!
Am locuit acum multi ani la judetul Mures (am fost profesoara de limba engleza la Tg.Mures). Deci ma bucur cand eu vad ceva despre Mures - chiar daca e numai o strada :)

Ooh, thanks for your comment on GDP - I didn't know that! :)
The clock tower is so beautifully illuminated and you have street motion of cars and people in the photographs that has nice winter ambiance.
Oh so sad that the lovely original and another old gate were demolished, for *progress.* -sigh-
I love night photos, btw.
It's a very old street but seems quite wide. There are two lanes of traffic and the sidewalks are enough for walking. What I mean is, sometimes sidewalks are nearly nonexistent, in old areas.
I hope that soon, all the buildings on this lovely street, will be in good shape, because they are being used.
And yes, the street light decorations are very pure and simple. Not "garrish" at all. Lovely.
