2021-06-29 11h26 Brasov: Biblioteca județeană

This building was erected between 1928-1930, by architects Moritz Wagner and Constantin Nănescu in a neo-Romanian style, to house the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was in 1969 that the building became the current seat of the County Library. And since 1992, the library bears the name of the Romanian historian and publicist George Barițiu who founded in 1838 in Brasov, "Gazeta de Transilvania", the first political and informative newspaper of Romanians in Transylvania. It is his statue which is in front of the library.
