The Tailors' Bastion is the only fortification tower from the old citadel that has survived completely to this day. The bastion was financed by the Cluj Tailors' Guild, which was also responsible for the city's defense at this point. The bastion forms the southeast corner of the medieval fortress, which was built starting in the 15th century (it is first mentioned in 1475). Between 1627 and 1629, the bastion was rebuilt according to the plans of the Italian architect Giacomo Resti after the gunpowder stored in the tower exploded as a result of a lightning strike. This is how it acquired its present form. To the north, a section of the stone wall with battlements and the guard route on the wall still survives.

Bastion is the south-east corner of the medieval fortress, since the fifteenth century (it is already mentioned in 1475).
