Being central in its emplacement, Brasov is an excellent place where you can start out on any tours of Romania. It is equally close to the Black sea with its resorts, northern Moldavia with its fascinating monasteries and Transylvania with its momentous scenery.
A holiday in Romania should include a visit to Brasov’s Black Church, built in the 14th century on the site of an old roman basilica. It belongs to the evangelical church, and although it was originally named the church of St. Mary, it got its actual name due to a fire that broke out in 1689, turning the exterior of the church almost completely black.
Another key attraction is the Jewish synagogue built in Moorish style, a truly unique building constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. It is ornamented with mosaics made of ceramics and stylish gothic window frames, doors and rosettes.
