Tourist Guide

Catherine's Gate in Brasov, Romania. It was built by the Tailors’ Guild in 1559 for defensive purposes instead of an old gate destroyed by the flood in 1526. It is named after St. Catherine's Monastery that was situated there in former times. It is the only original city gate to have survived from medieval times. In fact the central tower is only a part of the original gate. Documents talk about the existence of a wooden structure which was demolished in 1827. The original structure can be seen at the Weaver's Bastion where the large model of Brasov in 1600 is displayed.

My beautiful hometown!
Set in a beautiful mountainous surrounding, the black church is one of Braşovs main attractions.
Amazing structure! I was there on a national holiday, so the church was closed and I was unable to enter. Next time!

They cancelled my trip
They canceled my trip few days before I was supposed to arrive. I have to find a new location which wasn't very easy. Not nice. I checked the website and the property was still available to rent and got no explanation for that.
