Lonely Planet review for Medieval Stone Wall
Old Braşov is surrounded by a 12m high and 3km-long 15th-century wall , built to defend the city from Turkish attacks. Seven bastions were also raised around the city at the most exposed points, each one defended by a guild whose members, pending danger, tolled their bastion bell. The most popular viewing area is along the western section, which runs along a stream and pedestrianised Str Dupa Ziduri north to B-dul Eroilor. A good access point is 200m south of the Black Church.
