How would it be like to travel 300 years back in time, in a Transylvanian city, even if only for two hours? To lose yourself in the crowd, among merchants, craftsmen, apprentices, maids and servants, healers, executioners and beggars? To be welcomed by an inhabitant of the city?
My name is Johanna Kroner, I’m married to a wealthy merchant, senator in the city’s Council. I will be your guide through the City of the Crown – Brasov. We’ll explore together gates, towers and bastions, cobblestone streets and squares, houses, churches, pharmacies and inns. I’m ready to share to you tales, secrets and mysteries, peculiar and funny facts about the city’s daily life. I have answers to your most inquisitive or unusual questions. Are you curious about the challenges we face every day, about the way we defend ourselves against the invaders, about the remedies we use for various illnesses or about women’s beauty tricks? Or maybe you want to discover the recipe for our elixir of love, what a regular menu of a craftsmen’s feast looks like, if we have a dress code or how our school works? So, just put on some comfortable shoes, follow me and experience a unique journey back in the 1700s.
