History
Established on an ancient Dacian site in the 13th century by Teutonic knights, Braşov be-
came a German mercantile colony named Kronstadt (Brassó in Hungarian). The Saxons
built ornate churches and townhouses, protected by a massive wall that still remains. The
Romanians lived at Schei, just outside the walls, to the southwest.
One of the first public oppositions to the Ceauşescu government flared up here in 1987.
Thousands of disgruntled workers took to the streets demanding basic foodstuffs. Ceau-
şescu called in the troops and three people were killed in the scuffle.
Sights
Braşov is an outdoor type of place, best seen on DIY rambles around its medieval core.
