George Bariţiu Street called, in the Middle Ages the Horses Fair, which ascending towards „Şcheii Braşovului”, conserves countless historical and memorial buildings erected between the XVth and the XIXth centuries, among which is recalled the house of the judge mayor Valentinus Hirscher (at the no. 6), in which resided the ruler Mihai Viteazul, Michael the Brave, during his visit to Brasov in 1600.
The “Greek” Orthodox Church Sainte Trinity (George Bariţiu Street no. 12), the first orthodox church of the „Stronghold”, has been erected between 1784 and 1787 from the donations of the Greek merchants and those of the boyar families Brâncoveni, Văcăreşti, Şuţu, Mavrocordat of Walachia, during their exile at Braşov. The construction combines the post-byzantine traditional elements of the structure with the motives of the late Viennese baroque, at the level of the facade. The church’ belfry is set up inside the Glove Makers Tower of the first fastened enclosure of the medieval Brasov; its graveyard represents a valuable lapidary, where there are the tombs of Emanuel and Zoe Brâncoveanu, the metropolitan bishop Dositei of Walachia, another refugee at Brasov after the revolution guided by Tudor Vladimirescu, as well as the family of Alexandru Şuţu, ruler of Great Walachia. In 1980 here was relocated the most ancient triptych conserved at Brasov, known under the name of The Cross of Cutun.
At the level o the Blacksmiths Bastion, nowadays the seat of the National Archives, there were the ancient walls of „Brasov's Stronghold” on the Romanian neighbourhood „Schei” side, demolished in the XIXth century, along with the Horses Fair's Gate, erected in neoclassic style, between 1818-1820.
Beyond the line of the medieval fortifications vanished today, at the crossroads of Ludwig van Beethoven Course with George Bariţiu and Constantin Brâncoveanu Streets there is the bust of one of the most important Romanian composers, Ciprian Porumbescu (1853-1883), carved by the sculptor Vladimir Predescu. His comic opera „Crai nou" has been played for the first time in the Festive Hall of the nowadays National College "Andrei Şaguna" located in the proximity, where he used to teach music between 1881 and 1883.
The journey continues with Constantin Brâncoveanu Street (1688-1714), on which there are still conserved many inhabitable houses in possession of the Walachia's ruler, who gave his name, and also pertaining to his descendants, such as the buildings at no. 10 (1690-1798), no. 12 (1793), or no. 32 (1690-1770).
