Why you should travel to Romania?
Only if you catch a tour of the Romanian monasteries and you reach the Cozia Monastery will you understand why thousands of tourists are eager to see it.
Guarded for over 600 years, on one side by Olt river, on the other by mount Cozia, the fortified walls of this ancient monastery that have protected us from invaders in the past seem to encircle the Garden of Eden, a place of mystery and mythical beauty.

The Square is divided into two parts separated by Ocnei Street, which slopes under the Bridge of Lies towards the Lower Town.
The northern and eastern sides of the square follow the contour of the second fortification belt, forming a circular shape. The buildings situated left of Ocnei Street have a concave shape and follow the contour of the first fortification belt, these buildings separating the Small Square from the Huet Square.
The buildings existing in the Small Square date from the 14th to the 16th
centuries with one exception: they do not include the massive arched portal, characteristic for the Large Square and for Bălcescu Street. The loggia at the ground floor, arched and semi-opened towards the square, with semi-circular arcades sustained by supporting elements is characteristic for the houses situated in the Small Square. The buildings in the Small Square hosted craftsmen workshops and the merchandise was displayed within these spaces.
