About Astra
What are the main landmarks in Astra?
One site, and it is old. The record ties Astra to the archaeological ground at Dealul Melcilor, entered as a point of the Braşov site and set down under the second name Schnekenberg as well. No church or museum joins it.
What Astra offers a visitor is that single archaeological point and the district built around it.
What is the history of Astra?
1940 is the year attached to Astra, though the archaeological point at Dealul Melcilor sets an older claim on this part of Braşov than any district boundary does. The gap is the whole story. A quarter dated to 1940 sits on ground entered as Schnekenberg.
Astra holds both dates, and Braşov County holds Astra.
Where is Astra?
Astra covers a slice of Braşov inside Braşov County, and the archaeological ground at Dealul Melcilor falls within its limits.
