The Black Tower (Turnul Negru) in Brașov, Romania, is a historic landmark and one of the city's prominent medieval towers. This impressive stone tower is part of the city's fortifications and dates back to the 15th century. It is situated on the southern side of Brașov's Old Town and is named "Black" due to the dark-colored stone used in its construction.

The Black Tower served defensive purposes during its early history, offering strategic views of the surrounding areas. Over the years, it has been restored and preserved, becoming a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower to enjoy panoramic views of Brașov and its picturesque surroundings, including the Carpathian Mountains. It is not only a symbol of the city's rich history but also provides a unique perspective on Brașov's architectural heritage.
