Piața Sfatului Orthodox Church, also known as the Dormition of the Mother of God Church, stands prominently in Brasov's Council Square. Built in the 18th century, it features a striking baroque facade with twin towers. Inside, visitors can see a richly decorated iconostasis and frescoes. The church is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior is expected. Its location in the heart of the square makes it a convenient stop while exploring the old town. The church's exterior is especially photogenic when lit at dusk.
