Council Square and Council House
The Council Square is located in the heart of the medieval old town and is surrounded by the beautiful houses of former merchants. Council House – Built in 1420, the Council House served for centuries as a meeting place for members of the city council. In the early 17th century, the building’s watchtower became the place from which a trumpeter announced the rush hour and was therefore nicknamed the “Trumpet Tower”. Today, the Old Town Hall houses the Museum of History of Brasov.
