Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes how a city that seems to have had a great potential to develop more complex associations, being, the city where the first Romanian school developed and which later offered the first printing house in Romania, the first grammar in Romanian (and many other "first" objects of culture), is associated almost exclusively with an (especially) extrinsic feature - that of the beauty of nature and, only centrally, the beauty of the old city.
