the old town



a good view of the old town from the tâmpa mountain . you can see that it is very clearly delimitated and used to be surrounded by fortifications , a huge defence wall which is still standing today on two sides the ones with the hills where the development of the city didn't ask for demolitions . in the recent years the walls , the towers , the monuments were renovated and at least we know they'll have a longer life .
the map and the model (at the history museum in the old council house - the one in the middle of the square) shows how the old brasov and the defence system looked like a few hundreds years ago .
