Brasov, Casa Sfatului
When Google Translate is good, it’s very good, as in this entry from Wikipedia: “The beginning of construction on the site of the Council House is documented more than 600 years ago, on December 23 , 1420 , when an agreement was concluded between the District Assembly of Șărăi Bârsei and the Fur Guild. Representatives of the Brașov Fur Fur Guild allowed nine communes of the țara Bârsei Province to build a room above the guild’s sales vault for ‘dispensing of justice’ and for the magistrate’s meetings. However, due to the Turkish invasion of 1421, as well as the arrest of the city magistrate, construction work was delayed.” That they kept such good records then is impressive. The unused card has “I (heart) Transylvania” on the reverse, so you’ll be safe if you go to visit. Grade: 1
