The construction of Bra\u0219ov began with the construction of the fortress, strategically erected on a\nhill overlooking the city to protect it from enemy attacks. The fortress was followed by the\nconstruction of the city walls, built to preserve the city and defend its inhabitants.
\nMedieval Bra\u0219ov consisted of the Bra\u0219ov Citadel and the three suburbs outside the walls of the\n\"Citadel\": \u0218chei, inhabited by Romanians; Bra\u0219ovechi, mostly inhabited by Saxon peasants and\nBlum\u0103na, mostly inhabited by Hungarians.
\nThe settlement benefited from a special urban architecture, with inner belts of walls in a square\nplan, a new defense formula, preceding the period of firearms. Teutonic Knights contributed to the\nfounding of Bra\u0219ov in 1211 when they defended the border of the Hungarian Kingdom, and the city\nbecame one of the seven fortresses (Siebenburgen) after the Saxons were later colonized.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The excavated testimonies indicate the presence of large Neolithic cultures (the famous\nNoua, Tei, Schnekenberg culture) on today's territory of Brasov.
\nLater, archaeological discoveries attested to the existence of Dacian temples in the Pietrele lui Solomon area, of food warehouses in Pia\u021ba Sfatului, of settlements and fortresses on Melcilor Hill and in the Valea Cet\u0103\u021bii neighborhood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Citadel is known as CORONA ( 1235), BARASU ( 1252), BRASU ( 1288), names related to the\ncolonization of the Burzenland with a German population from the region of Flanders and Moesia.<\/p>\n

In 1353, the coat of arms of Brasov illustrated a crown with fleurons in the shape of a lily,\naccompanied by a lily flower. From 1429, the tree trunk under the crown also appeared.<\/p>\n

The current coat of arms of the municipality of Brasov, contains a blue shield on which appears a tree trunk with 13 silver roots - the 13 communes of the \u0218ara Barsa - which emerge from a golden crown with three lobes - the symbol of power. The shield is stamped by a silver mural crown of seven towers - the specific insignia for county seat municipalities.<\/p>\n

The overall meaning of the coat of arms is \"Wisdom and Power forever rule the Citadel\".<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Bra\u015fov's coat of arms has a history of over 1,000 years, when the current city was just a\nvillage. In those days, instead of the present Historical Center, there was only a huge\nforest.<\/p>

It is said that the Hungarian King Solomon (1063-1074) was fighting a people of\ninvaders, the Cumans, who used to conquer territories and kill anyone who stood in\ntheir way.<\/p>

The legend says that King Solomon was chased by the invaders to Bra\u015fov where he hid in the forest. In order not to be recognized, he took off his crown and\nplaced it on the trunk of a tree. He was no longer recognized by the Cumans, who believed that the king had fallen into the abyss and died. That's how he managed to escape and run away with the riches he had on him. He ran to a cave where he took refuge, in the area known today as Solomon's Stones.<\/p>

Hundreds of years later, a peasant who went to the forest to collect firewood found the crown, on the site where the Council House now stands, and took it to the Black Church for safekeeping.<\/p>

That's how Brasov became in german \"Kronstadt\", \"The City of The Crown\".<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The city was surrounded by walls and defense towers, thus becoming a famous fortification -\nthe Citadel.<\/p>

This represented a fortified place, the inhabitants of Bra\u0219ovechi, Blumana and Schei neighbourhoods located outside the fortress walls, being protected within it.<\/p>

The access to the Citadel was through four gates: Catherine's Gate, on the southwest side towards\nSchei, Custom's Gate\/Monastery's Gate, on the north side towards Brasovechi, the Main Gate (Coppersmiths' Gate) and Black Street's Gate, in the northeastern part towards Blumana.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Brasov Citadel also had four external towers, that were used as watchtowers. Out of these, only two have survived to this day: the White Tower and the Black Tower. In the citadel, the constructions were erected according to some restrictions imposed by the geographical conditions in which the city was located. Here, as in the other Saxon districts, the houses \"supported each other\", being stuck together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The privileged geographical position contributed enormously to the development of the city that\nwe see today.<\/p>

Being an autonomous settlement, trade and craft activities allowed people to be organised into guilds. Organizations that serve the purpose of craftsmen of the same type, by defending common interests. Guilds of goldsmiths and silversmiths are mentioned in the 16th century.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Goldsmiths' Guild experienced a long and favorable flowering through the objects made for\nthe needs of churches of different rites existing in Bra\u0219ov. For a long time, they were endowed with\nliturgical objects, including candlesticks, chalices, candles, baptismal font, crosses, icons for icons,\nbut also books, these not only being religious.<\/p>

They are joined by ornaments, clothing accessories, including the famous belts with tassels, cufflinks, but also household items.<\/p>

Regardless of the type of objects produced by Bra\u0219ov goldsmiths, they are made in the artistic style\nof the era, combining characteristics of the Renaissance with those of the Baroque. To this is added the Romanian specificity because many are made at the order of the rulers, the boyars from the\nRomanian countries, their artistic achievement illustrating a visible influence that will be known as\nthe Brancovean style.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The seal was created during the reorganization of the guild (between 1511 and 1550). On the seal appears the inscription S * M * ABRI * KORONEN CIS, meaning Sanctus Martinus Aurifabri Coronenses and an image of the patron saint of the goldsmiths' guild, Saint Martin of Tours. This is also the patron saint of the church of Saint Martin in Bra\u0219ov, which represents one of the oldest monuments in the city, the construction of the church having been started since 1235.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the middle of the northern wall of the Citadel, between the Porta Street Gate and the Monastery Gate, is the Goldsmiths' Bastion, built between 1639 and 1641. Although it appears circular in some images, it had the shape of an irregular hexagon, which emerged from the line of the enclosure wall with five sides. On the middle side it was decorated with the Coat of Arms of Bra\u0219ov and with a stone inscription indicating the years of its construction (1639-1641) and the names of the primary judges of Bra\u0219ov, Christian Hirscher and Michael Goldschmidt.<\/p>

The bastion was demolished in 1886, and in its place, in 1888-1889, the Royal State Higher School was built, today the T building of \"Transylvania\" University.<\/p>

The rapid enrichment of the goldsmiths is also reflected by their moving to a new bastion of the fortress, built by them in the century. the 17th on the line that unites Strada Portii (today Republic) with that of Customs (Muresenilor). Moreover, the wellbeing is proven by the fact that, in addition to the current fiscal or war obligations, the goldsmiths made substantial gifts to the princes, the nobles (for example, at the wedding of Ioan Zapolya they sent 455 florins, a more than substantial amount).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The products made by the craftsmen of the MAY dynasty, objects of worship or of common use,\nare made of solid silver and gilded silver. They have different shapes, ornaments with geometric\nfigures, zoomorphic motifs, plants, biblical scenes, landscapes.<\/p>

For example, silver glasses usually consist of two pieces, the cup and the foot, on which, chiseled or hammered, there are oval medallions, worked in relief or with scenes reproducing the movement of animals (deer, horses). They have their own, characteristic style in which there are cut-out floral decorations representing wreaths, open peonies, lobes of some flowers, all specific to the Brancovenesc style.<\/p>

They are also inspired by folk art using the blooming tulip, but also other floral elements rendered down to the smallest details (pistil flowers, leaves). These stylized motifs are of Greek origin, they are found in Byzantine and Oriental art and were transmitted to Romanian art.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nature plays an important role in their works, hunting scenes, with animals, plants lead to the combination of traditional local elements with those of Wallachia.

At the end of the 19th century, in 1896, this romantic house was located exactly where you are now! In front of the Nicolae Titulescu Park in Bra\u015fov (the Central Park, next to which the Bra\u0219ov City Hall is located), Vila Schuller attracted all the eyes of passers-by. Built by the pharmacist Friedrich Schuller, the villa had a direct view of T\u00e2mpa and the Black Church, being one of the tallest \"civilian\" buildings of the time.<\/p>

The building impresses through the combination of architectural styles, having elements specific to the Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical and Neogothic styles. The facade was ornamented with carved details and floral decorations, and the interior was richly decorated with frescoes, stucco and eclectic stained glass.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Romanian Telephone Company (SART) buys a part of Villa Schuller and builds The Palace of Telephones Brasov, a building that will house a Rotary-type automatic telephone exchange with a capacity of 3,000 lines. In 1939 the building was inaugurated, which was then nationalized by the communists, in 1962 Villa Schuller was demolished\ndue to the extension of The Telephone Palace, it became the property of Telekom and was sold in 2015.<\/p>

Thus, the two buildings functioned together for 23 years!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The establishment of the communist regime in Romania and the first years of the proletarian dictatorship also meant the renaming of almost 12,000 towns, streets, factories and factories in Romania after the \"fathers\" of world communism. In Romanian toponymy during the communist period, the most important change took place in 1950, by changing the name of Bra\u015fov to \"Stalin City\".<\/p>

The Council Square in Bra\u0219ov changes its name to the \"23 August\" Square, and the Central Park becomes the \"Romanian-Soviet Friendship Park\". Factories also receive names taken from the language of propaganda: \"Red Flag\", \"Red Partisan\", \"Dezrobierea\". Communist Brasov owned factories for trucks, tractors, bearings, military industry, chemical industry, clothing and footwear, cosmetics, food industry, etc. Each industrial platform led to the\nconstruction of housing blocks for newly arrived workers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the 25 years in which he was in charge of Romania, Nicolae Ceau\u015fescu visited Brasov numerous times. The people forced to take to the streets with placards and cheer him and the crowded bathrooms filled him with energy, being convinced that he is loved by the people.<\/p>

The dictator knew the \u201dtown at the foot of Tampa Mountain\u201d quite well. Here he had asserted himself for the first time as a hardened communist, in 1936, while he was being tried for agitation and propaganda against the security of the state. Also here, he had been accepted into the ranks of the Communist Party, while he was incarcerated at the\nCentral Prison, the current building of the Patrimony. In the last years of his reign, however, Brasov caused him a lot of trouble.<\/p>
