Address: Str. Poarta Şchei
The access into „Brasov’s Stronghold” from the Romanian neighbourhood of Schei used to occur in the Middle Ages through the Upper Gate, initially also called Corpus Christi, after the square at the level of which it was erected. From the old fastened assembly only the Ecaterina’s Tower is still conserved nowadays, being a representative edifice for the Renaissance architecture at Brasov, built up in 1559 following the initiative of the mayor judge Johannes Benkner. The other fortifications of the complex, protected in the epoch by water ditches and ponds, have been dismantled in 1827, when started the construction of The Schei Gate, considered necessary to ensure the fluidisation of the traffic between Brasov’s Stronghold and the „Upper Suburb”. The construction in neoclassic style, endowed with central practicable access, bordered by pedestrian passages with semicircular apertures, has been accomplished in 1828 by the mason artisan Joseph Jani, financed by the Romanian merchants. Subsequently, both the interlocked walls of the south-eastern side of Brasov’s Stronghold, between the Blacksmiths Bastion and the Weavers Bastion, and the gate in classicist style of the Horses Fair Street, built up between 1819-1820.
In close proximity of the south-western fortifications’ line of „Brasov’s Stronghold” there is the String’s Street, first mentioned in the historical documents in the XVIIth century. The narrow street, which width varies between 111 and 135 cm, used to represent originally the gap between two „decurie”, which means groups of ten houses each, specific to the medieval town planning system implemented inside the stronghold.
In 2003 the street was restored and enlightened, being included in the touring circuit as a peculiar attraction of the town.

Sunt parrei de republicani indoctrinati de comunisti ca regii sunt niste nemernici care sug sangele poporului. Totusi tipul si tipa vor fi candva regele si regina Angliei si vor conduce pe langa UK si Canada si Australia, deci teoretic vor face cat 3 presedinti de rang inalt. Pe langa asta casa regala reprezinta o garantie pt multi si un simbol mondial.V-ati intrebat de ce lira sterlina e numarul 1 desi economia Angliei nu e numarul 1? Casa regalareprezinta o garantie a stabilitatii societatii engleze atat politica cat si economica.Unii spun ca monarhia britanica e frectie pt ca primul ministru decide. asa e dar atat timp cat esti Comander en chief al fortelor armate britanice si poti dizolva Parlamentul si demite primul ministru esti totusi cel care e seful.In alta ordine de idei am o provocare pt republicanii convinsi: Numiti-mi o republica de pe glob unde vin 1 milion de cetateni , de buna voie, sa se bucure pentru conducatorii lor.In ceea ce priveste reporterul ar fi fost destul de anosta o transmitere preluata de la BBC cu un traducator in studio care nu ar fost prea atent nici la intonatie nici la evenimente. 0 0

Macar daca i-ar face o luminare de Doamne ajuta ..sa se vada macar de la Belvedere e ltanimua de un stalp de iluminat public ..Sau macar o restaurare a zidurilor exterioare + curatenie in curte sa nu mai vorbim de reducerea mirosului de igrasie .. care suspectez ca se datoreaza incalzirii cu gaz ( care face condens)
