The entrance from the “Old Town” in “Brașov’s Stronghold” used to be made in the Middle Age, through the Monastery Gate, at the level of today Mureşenilor street, initially named after the Dominican settlement near by, mentioned in documents for the first time in 1342. After the settlement of the Hapsburg Empire in Transylvania, on the spot of a monastery, has been erected the Roman-Catholic Church Saints Peter and Paul, between 1776-1782, according to the plans of the architect Karl Joseph Lamasch, with the direct financial support of the Empress Maria Theresa. The vaults of the church, known as the most representative Baroque construction in Brasov, were decorated at the beginning of the XXth century, with religious scenes painted in medallions, while the windows have been endowed with stained glass commissioned in Budapest.
Mureșenilor Street is one of the most important thoroughfare of the town since the medieval period, conserving buldings dating back to the Renaissance period, such as Schobeln House (no. 9, 1550) or which illustrates the diversity of the styles practised at the end of the XIXth century at Brasov. During this period are erected countless residences, such as Dr. Nicolai Garoiu House (no. 17, 1898), in neo-Baroque style, or the houses designed by Christian Kertsch, who succeed to Peter Bartesch in the position of „town's engineer”, for the merchants Verzár (no. 10, 1886) in eclectic style with a frontage excessively ornamented or the residence of the merchant Ghiţă Popp (1887, no. 3), of neo-Renaissance inspiration, with paintings decorating the passage’s ceiling, at the ground floor, and parlour's ceiling upstairs .
