That church in Uniri Square, in the yard on the left there is a small building, that's the first ever school in the Romanian language.

[@aristhais]

That's a fascinating fact! 🤓

@@aristhais Well, it's a museum, you can visit it but it's small and there isn't much to see. And the oldest building that is still standing in the city is St Bartolomeu Church but it's kinda far from old town and few know about it. Also, technically, the city wasn't really founded by the Germans, that's just a simplified story for tourists. It's just that the current fortifications are from the German times. But people have been living in the area for many thousands of years before that. Brasov area was kinda at the edge of the Cucuteni civilizations, that's some 6k years ago. At Pietrele lui Solimon there are Dacian traces and on Tampa Mountain there was a fortress before the Germans, they used it for a while and later demolished it.

@@realjx313What is intriguing is that it is the oldest building and is so far from the old town. For those who want to pay it a visit, it's in maps under the name Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu. Thanks for the history lesson! We didn't find any info about the predecessors of the Germans. So, we appreciate your comment. It seem that many of the cities of Transylvania entered the history books only when the german arrived.

@@aristhais It's a matter of written records or lack of plus the way things are framed for tourists, simplified. A lot is known from roman times for the area of Romania but then for some 1000 years, not much.

@@aristhais And it's the oldest building that is still standing so not counting ruins. And it was built by the Germans, i think before the current fortifications but not sure- as mentioned, the city wasn't really founded by the Germans. Basically , to be blunt, the Hungarians were invaders/colonizers and the usual tactic in such cases is to eliminate some of the population to make some room and then bring some of your own people to better control the land and try to keep it. But the Hungarians didn't had many people so they invited some Germans to help. And that's why there is some German architecture and there was an important German minority in Transylvania. Anyway, the 3 Romanian kingdoms used to be somewhat of a buffer zone between empires- Ottomans, Hungarian(+Austria later) and the Polish. Plus, religions colliding. And lots of wars, lots of games of thrones so everyone trying to exercise influence and not much peace, sometimes freedom, sometimes not. Then towards the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century until WW2, Romania was doing super well. lots of natural resources, very high agricultural production, strong industry,. educated people, artists and so on. Timisoara was the first city in Europe with street lights powered by electricity. In Ploiesti, the first oil refinery in the world was opened in 1857. One of the first planes was made by a Romanian (Traian Vuia). After WW2, the West kinda sold out and gave half of Europe and half of Asia to Russia so 45 years of weird socialist dictatorship and since Dec 89 a slow recovery - actually the 90s were super slow (for reasons i won't spend time on now) but in the last 20 years the GDP growth has been solid and constant. And the Dacians thing, Romans invaded Dacia some 2k years ago, the 2 populations mixed and that's Romania.

Hola chicos! Se puede acampar libremente en Rumanía ?

[@aristhais]

Hola!! Nosotros no tuvimos ningún problema acampando. Te recomendamos la aplicación park4night. Ahí te salen los sitios donde ya ha acampado gente. Era bastante común acampar. Bueno, mas bien con campervan. Con tienda de campaña mejor en camping. Mas que nada por la seguridad.
