PIAȚA MARE

The center of the town since the ^16th century, the "Grande Place" is protected from traffic and retains an almost intimate character, despite its size and prestige. It is surrounded by colorful buildings, including several historic monuments. These include the Brukenthal palace, as well as former noble homes: the pretty casa Haller (at no. 10), built in 1470 in Gothic style, was later remodeled in the Renaissance. At no. 13, the dapper casa Lutsch dates back to the ^16th century. The Piața Mare hosts numerous events, including the Christmas market.
