Brasov County - Făgăraş (German: Fogarasch, Fugreschmarkt, Hungarian: Fogaras)

Făgăraş is a city in central Romania, located in Braşov County at 66 km from Braşov and 76 km from Sibiu. In 1369, Louis I of Hungary gave the Royal Estates of Făgăraş to his vassal, Vladislav I of Wallachia, the territory remained in the possession of Wallachian Princes until 1464. Except for this period of Wallachian rule, the town itself was centre of the surrounding royal estates. During the rule of Transylvanian Prince Gabriel Bethlen (1613–1629), the city became an economic role model city in the southern regions of the realm. Bethlen rebuilt the fortress entirely.
