The existence of the street is attested in the documents of the seventeenth century as a simple corridor to help the work of firefighters. The width of Sforii Street varies between 1.11 and 1.35 m, which gives it the title of the narrowest street in Brasov. Sforii Street, with a length of 80 meters, reflects the urbanization trends of medieval Brașov. Sforii Street is the third narrowest street in Europe (after the Spreuerhofstraße in Germany, which is 31 to 50 cm wide, and the Parliament Street in England, which is approximately 122 cm wide).

The Black Church, Biserica Neagră in Romanian, stands in the city of Brașov in south-eastern Transylvania, Romania. It was built by the Saxon community of the city and represents the main Gothic-style monument in the country, as well as being the largest and one of the most important houses of worship in the region which belong to the Lutheran, i.e. Evangelical Church of Augustan Confession in Romania. Author Judit Petki contends that, contrary to a widely held view, the Black Church did not receive its dark appearance as a result of the fire which affected much of the city in 1689, but only in recent times due to pollution. The current popular name is apparently a 19th-century creation.
The cathedral, a working church, is the main city landmark of historical Brașov, and a museum is open to visitors.

Come visit Dracula's castle!
Bran Castle is a castle in Bran, 25 kilometres southwest of Brașov. Commonly known outside Transylvania as Dracula's Castle, it is often referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.
The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can see the interior on their own or by a guided tour. At the bottom of the hill is a small open-air museum exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures (cottages, barns, water-driven machinery, etc.) from the Bran region.
