From this point, the medieval journey follows the south-western side of the fortifications of „Brasov's Stronghold”, most of them dismantled in the XIXth century, from which only fragments of the enclosure walls are still conserved nowadays, part of them being included in the later constructions.
The Ecaterina’s Tower is the only conserved element of the assembly of the gate of „Brasov's Stronghold”, from the Romanian neighbourhood of Schei, initially called Corpus Christi, Porta Superior and, during the Austrian occupation, Porta Vallace. The squared plan construction, with the roof bordered by the four little towers, which used to expressed the supreme jurisdiction – jus gladii –, constitutes one of the monuments representative for the Renaissance style in the Transylvanian architecture. On its main façade, above the access, it is conserved the blazonry of Brasov carved in stone, the name of the judge mayor Johannes Benkner and the construction year, 1559. The tower of the Ecaterina's Gate has been restored between 1971-1973 and in 2006.
The Şchei Gate has been erected (1827–1828) in order to fluidize the traffic between „Brasov’s Stronghold” and „The Upper Suburb”. The monumental construction, in Classicist style, was endowed with a central opening for the vehicles bordered by the two lateral accesses for pedestrians. The inscriptions in Latin, due to the notary Joseph Franz Trausch, mention the names of the Emperor Francis I, the judge mayor Johannes Jacob Mylius, the regional judge Johann Georg von Trauschenfels and the year of the accomplishment of the construction. The Schei Gate has been restored after the earthquake of March 4th 1997 and repaired several times, the last one in 2004.
