to be seen in the City of Tâmpa. In Council Square is the old town hall, Rathaus or the House of the Council, built in 1420, a
building that combines several architectural styles, which only confirm its history. Thus, the ground floor of the building, which now
houses the History Museum of Brasov, still retains elements of the Gothic style, while the attic, the attic and the tower follow the
