Brașov's roots trace back to the Middle Ages when Hungarian rulers invited Saxon settlers to fortify the region. They established the walled city known as Kronstadt, which has preserved much of its medieval character.

Over the centuries, Brașov evolved into a significant trade center. Its strategic location in Transylvania attracted various influences, shaping its architecture and culture. Today, the city reflects a blend of its historical past and modern development.
