Habsburg Brassó, 1900
This is Brassó in the last decades of Austro-Hungarian rule: a compact Transylvanian market town where a Gothic Black Church towers over a ring of new shopfronts and hotel awnings. Walkers climb Tâmpa above the red-tiled roofs, a new Neolog synagogue raises its towers, an Orthodox cathedral anchors the eastern approach, and timber and wool mills hum at the town's edges.
34 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Brașov as it stood in 1900 (“Brașov”).
