Strada Sforii

Strada Sforii, known as Rope Street or String Street, is the narrowest street in Brașov and is considered one of the narrowest streets in Europe. It is located near the Șchei Gate and runs perpendicular to Strada Cerbului. Originally built as a passageway for firefighters, it is first mentioned in documents from the 17th century. Today it is a popular meeting spot and tourist attraction. The alley is about 80 meters (260 feet) long and varies in width between 111 and 135 centimeters (about 3.6 to 4.4 feet). Its name changed over the centuries in several languages before it received its present-day Romanian name.
