Brașov County lies in the bend of the Carpathians, with the old Saxon city of Brașov, Bran Castle and fortified churches.
Brașov's old town has the great Black Church and the narrow Rope Street. Bran Castle, on a rock above a pass, was a toll fortress and later a royal home of Queen Marie; today it is linked in popular culture to the Dracula story. Fortified churches such as Prejmer and Viscri, on the UNESCO list, were built by Saxon villagers to shelter from raids.
