Between Union Square and the Grand Square is a wide and convivial pedestrian artery that used to link the marketplace with the defunct Cisnădie Gate at the southern entrance to the city.

There was a fire here in the 17th century so although no architecture survives from the earliest days, most of the houses are Baroque and Neoclassical from the 1700s and 1800s, and have gates that open onto inner courtyards.
