Saxon Kronstadt, 1500

Kronstadt sits at the foot of the Carpathians as a prosperous Transylvanian Saxon guild town defending trade routes and passes. The walk passes the walled town's gates and bastions kept by guilds, the enormous Gothic Black Church, the council square and the Romanian quarter of Schei outside its own gate.

34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Brașov as it stood in 1500 (“Transylvanian Saxons”).
