You can slip off the rocks! Be very careful on the descents! I cut my elbow when I took a curve.

The Old Town Hall, located on Town Hall Square in the historic center, is Brașov's most important secular monument. The town hall was originally a watchtower, the foundations of which lay on those of the present tower. The adjacent building was constructed later, with construction work beginning on December 23, 1420. The Turkish invasion of 1421 and the resulting destruction, as well as the arrest of the city judge, delayed construction. The building was only later converted into the town hall. It was first mentioned in 1503, when it appears as the "Praetorium," the seat of the city administration. From 1950 onward, the Old Town Hall housed the Brașov State Museum, which later became the Brașov County History Museum.

The Black Church, along with the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, houses Europe's largest collection of oriental carpets from the 15th and 16th centuries. The interior of the Black Church is dominated by the vibrant colors of the approximately 110 oriental carpets on display. Even a layperson will be impressed by the multitude of nuances and patterns of this unusual decoration. To adorn the church, wealthy members of the community and guild masters donated brightly colored Ottoman textiles, especially carpets. Produced in Anatolia, these were traded to Kronstadt, where they were acquired by the citizens to decorate the altar, pulpit, or pews.

The Black Church (Biserica Neagra) is the parish church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Brașov. The late Gothic building was partially damaged in the fire of 1689, and the soot stained its walls black. The popular name "Black Church" after the fire was officially adopted in the 19th century. The present Black Church stands on the site of an older Romanesque church from the 13th century, which was destroyed during the Tatar invasion of 1241. Construction began in 1383. The Turkish invasion of 1421 interrupted construction and forced the city to focus on fortifications. The year 1477 can be considered the final year of construction on the church. At 89 meters long and 38 meters wide, the Black Church is the largest Gothic religious building in Southeast Europe. It can accommodate approximately 5,000 people.

The idyllic Promenadă După Ziduri, the "alley behind the walls," runs along the Graft Stream, which runs alongside the walls and bastions on the northwest side of the medieval fortifications. Formerly part of the city's defenses, the stream was channeled along the fortress walls in the Middle Ages. Its tributary is the Șcheiu River, which rises on the northern slope of the Postăvarul Massif.

From the Black Tower you have an excellent view of the old town and the Black Church in its center.

The Beit Israel Synagogue is Brașov's largest Jewish house of worship. An Orthodox congregation has been active here since 2015. Beit Israel (House of Israel) was built between 1899 and 1901 in the Neo-Gothic style with Moorish accents, designed by the Hungarian architect Lipót Baumhorn. Brașov's Jewish community was officially established in 1826. The occupational restrictions imposed on Jews by medieval Saxon statutes remained an obstacle to the community's development for a time, but the number of Jews in Brașov steadily increased, from 769 in 1890 to 6,000 in 1940. The community split in 1877 into an Orthodox (traditionalist) and a Neo-Orthodox rite, each building its own place of worship. Both synagogues exist to this day.
