FAGARAS-railway station

Fagaras (German: Fogarasch, Hungarian: Fogaras) is a city in central Romania, located in Brasov County. It lies on the Olt River and has a population of 35,400 as of 2004.

Although the city has become almost totally Romanian-populated through Saxon and Hungarian emigration, the diverse background is still obvious. The most important attraction points in the city are the fortress, Radu Negru High school, the Reformed Church and the local Catholic church.
