On Apollonia Hirscher street, the ancient Fish Fair during the Middle Ages, with its western corner towards The Council Place occupied by the Merchants House (1545), there are the seats of the Philharmonic „Gheorghe Dima” with a continuous activity since 1878 and the Children Theatre „Arlechino”, established in 1949.
The Concerts House “Reduta” has been erected in 1893, according to the plans of the „chef architect of the town”, Christian Kertsch (1839-1909), on the spot of a representations hall, dating back to 1794. The construction, erected in neo-Baroque style, has a facade decorated with busts of musicians and architects of the universal patrimony inserted on circular medallions, placed above the windows on the floor and allegorical figures in relief.  Between 1948-1962 in the building functioned the State Theatre.  The building was rehabilitated between 1997 and 2004, when the interior was entirely modernized and the centre regained its ancient name "Reduta” („The Redoubt”).
Nicolae Bălcescu Street, called in the Middle Ages the Black Street,  constituting a continuation of the Schei Gate street, crosses longitudinally  "Braşov’s Stronghold”. The memorial plaque of the façade of the building at no. 40, reminds that here used to be the house where was born the humanist Johannes Honterus (1498-1549).

The town used to be crossed from east to west, since its very beginnings, parallel to the Black Street, by Republicii street, called initially the Gate Street, and by Mureşenilor street, called the Monastery street.
