we will make a tour of the medieval fortification of brasov (check the map from yesterdays post) . walls , bastions , towers ... old rocks . 500 years ago these were some powerful defensive weapons . i don't think they saw much "action" but this was the point , to scare away the enemies . still , some parts were beaten but another kind of enemy : time ....ok , let's start with the "bastionul tesatorilor
" = linen weavers bastion on the southern corner . today a museum that can be visited on the way up on tampa mountain , it is the largest medieval bastion in brasov and the best preserved among the seven initial watchtowers built around the city walls. it was first built during 1421-1436 and rebuilt in 1570-1573. inside the construction there are three main protective corridors. The wooden galleries surround a small central square.
