The location of the city at the intersection of trade routes linking the Ottoman Empire and western Europe, together with certain tax exemptions, allowed Saxon merchants to obtain considerable wealth and exert a strong political influence in the region. This was reflected in the cityโ€™s German name, Kronstadt, as well as in its Latin name, Corona, meaning Crown City (hence, the coat of arms of the city which is a crown with oak roots). Fortifications were erected around the city and continually expanded, with several towers maintained by different craft guilds, according to medieval custom.

The fortress built in the 14th century, worldwide known as Draculaโ€™s Castle, due to the American movie directors, Bran served as royal residence from 1920 to 1948, a gift of the people of Brasov to Queen Marie of Romania.
