Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu este cea mai veche biserică și totodată cea mai veche clădire din Brașov, fiind construită în secolul al XIII-lea și suferind modificări substanțiale în secolul al XV-lea. Biserica, de confesiune evanghelică-luterană, este situată în cartierul Brașovechi și face parte dintr-un ansamblu de monumente istorice sub numele de Ansamblul bisericii evanghelice „Sf. Bartolomeu”. Ansamblul este compus din trei monumente: • Biserica evanghelică „Sf. Bartolomeu” • Zidul de incintă cu poarta  • Casa parohială  Se presupune că biserica Sf. Bartolomeu a fost construită la începutul secolului al XIII-lea, după ce Cavalerii Teutoni s-au stabilit în Țara Bârsei. Întemeietorul bisericii a fost Hermann von Salza, conducătorul Ordinului Cavalerilor Teutoni din acea vreme, iar la momentul construcției biserica Sf. Bartolomeu era una dintre cele mai mari biserici construite în Transilvania. Prima atestare documentară a bisericii datează din anul 1223. Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu a fost cunoscută în epocă și sub denumirea de „Biserica celor trei orfane”. Conform unei legende, trei orfane credincioase și-au donat toată averea bisericii, iar ca semn de recunoștință acestea au fost înmormântate sub altarul lăcașului.

Prima etapă de transformare a Aleii de Sub Tâmpa într-un loc de promenadă și de petrecere a timpului liber a fost finalizată. Transformarea zonei din acces către muntele Tâmpa într-una din cele mai frumoase zone de petrecere a timpului liber din Brașov a început cu interzicerea traficului auto și desființarea parcării, care reprezenta principalul impediment în transformarea aleii într-o zonă de promenadă. Au fost amenajate două zone cu aparate pentru fitness și pentru work-out, au fost create mai multe zone de odihnă și interacțiune socială. În partea dinspre Suișul Castelului au fost amenajate mai multe jocuri pe asfalt, de la șotron la ceasul solar, iar Dealul Melcilor și Tâmpa au fost reprezentate pe asfalt  prin curbe de nivel. Zona de dirt-bike, amenajată anul trecut de Asociația NH Bike, a fost extinsă cu o nouă zonă dedicată copiilor. Sursa

The Brasov County Museum of History is one of the most important cultural institutions of Brasov County. It has the largest historical heritage of Brasov county (159,255 pieces), covering all historical epochs, from prehistory to the contemporary period. The museum organizes various cultural events (exhibitions, seminars, conferences, debates, festivals, etc.) in partnership with public or private institutions and organizations. The mission of Brasov County Museum of History is to discover, identify, collect, protect, research and exploit the historical heritage of Braşov County, to bring the Braşov communities, prestige, pride and understanding, to learn and educate, and, last but not least , to get Braşov's habit of visiting his museums and the tourist's desire to return to Brasov. The museums are not important points of interest for the Braşov community and the tourists arriving in the Brasov area, and the cultural events organized by them have the lowest publicity among the cultural preferences of the Brasov people. The Management Plan of the History Museum in Brasov for the period 2014-2019, presented in September 2014, has left precisely this painful reality. The long-term vision and mission of the History Museum of Brasov were formulated under the influence of the crisis situation. Thus, the new management plan pursued the reinvention of the Brasov County Museum of Historiy by transforming it into a representative cultural institution for presenting the historical identity of Brasov.  The main activities are: scientific establishment, administration, preservation and restoration of museum heritage; scientific research, evidence, documentation, protection and development of the museum heritage; permanently and / or temporarily capitalizing on museum heritage for the purpose of knowledge, education and recreation; organization of field, systematic and rescue archeological research, and archaeological research to find new archaeological sites; permanent contact with target audiences (in particular, Braşov community, Braşov county communities, students, Romanian and foreign tourists); permanent contact with media, non-governmental organizations, cultural bodies, educational and research institutions, museums, international bodies and fora.     The Brasov County Museum of History is a member of ICOM - International Council of Museums and since 2014 collaborates with the European Institute for Cultural Itineraries.     Between 2014 and 2015, the Brasov County Museum of History is the leader of local museums based on the total annual number of visitors, including the category of young beneficiaries and pupils.

More info on presentation (pcrai.ro) Opened in 2016, the Visitor Center is an exhibition space that combines information trails in the park, based on interactive techniques, three-dimensional layouts, and exhibits related to the area's biodiversity. With touch screens, visitors can see the landscapes of Piatra Craiului and find out all the necessary information about the flora and wild animals that live here, but also about the rocks that are combined in the massif. Visitors can also take a virtual tour of the tourist trails, everything with a simple hand movement.  An artificial stall has been set up in the visitor's center to allow visitors to see what they look like on the inside, but also an artificial cave where bats and other insects are living in this environment.  The wild animals can be admired on the route that runs through the visitor center. These can not only be seen but also heard, which brings a spectacular element and is certainly a great attraction for the little ones.  The interior of the center is designed to simulate the idea of rocks as much as possible, so visitors will feel right on the mountain. In addition, the special effects of thunder, lightning, or chirping of the birds will bring the visitor even closer to the beauty of the Piatra Craiului Mountains. The center also has a Piatra Craiului 3D layout and a walkway that tourists can climb to admire from above as if they were on a mountain at heigh. Also on the walkway can be projected pictures from Piatra Craiului, geological information, and habitat, but also tourist routes. Everything is with a touch screen command. Practically the visitor can design what map he wants to see and they can virtually admire the entire Piatra Craiului massif.
