Question

Find important Cities and Landmarks in Romania plsssssssssss

Answer 1

1. Delightful Brasov is home to one of the best preserved medieval old towns in Europe. Bordered by the Carpathian Mountains, Brasov was established by Teutonic Knights during the early 13th century, then settled by the Saxons as one of their seven walled citadels. Over the centuries Kronstadt (as Brasov was known during this period) amassed great wealth from trade due to its location between Western Europe and the east and the result of this can be seen in the city’s fine gothic, renaissance and baroque architecture. Key places of interest in Brasov include the Black Church, the largest gothic church in Romania, Council Square and the impressive defensive towers, gates and bastions that once protected the city. To the north of Brasov, the 800 year old fortified church at Prejmer can also be visited.
2. Modern capital of Romania and the most populous city in the country, Bucharest has had a tumultuous history. Made capital in 1862, Bucharest’s layout and architecture has been shaped by events of the last 150 years with the city flourishing in periods of cultural creativity and industrial productivity during late 1800s and early 20th century but also afflicted by two World Wars and the redevelopment that took place during Ceausescu’s communist rule. The best known building that survives the Ceausescu era is the mammoth Palace of Parliament which is the second largest administrative building in the world and contains an astonishing 1100 rooms. Also of interest is the opulent Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, Patriarchal Cathedral, Palatul Primaverii and Revolution Square.
3. In a country of elegant and historic cities, Sibiu may just be the most handsome. One of the oldest cities in Transylvania, Sibiu has a distinct Germanic feel to it and, along with Brasov and Sighisoara, was an important Saxon centre. Today, much of this heritage remains. Most of the historic defensive fortifications are still intact (including 39 towers and four gates), there is a beautifully maintained collection of 17th century buildings and numerous churches all still standing within the city’s original medieval street layout. Explore the graceful squares of the Upper Town – including the UNESCO protected Great Square – and Huet Square with its gothic architecture and Evangelical Cathedral, the Bridge of Lies, Brukenthal Palace and 13th century Council Tower.
