    The Tinsmith's Tower (Turnul Cositorarilor) suffered considerable damage during the Hungarian siege from 1704 to 1706. Traces of the bombardment can still be seen in its 25-meter-high walls. Architecturally interesting, the tower begins on a square base, transitions into a pentagonal structure, and expands to an octagonal storey. The roof forms a hexagon. A now-lost inscription indicates that repairs were carried out in 1583, and the pentagonal bastion was built in front of the tower.

      The tin foundry tower is the most beautiful of the preserved castle complexes in Sighisoara due to its polygonal shape. However, it needs a restoration, but that would probably lessen its morbid charm...

        Tinsmith's Tower | Turnul Cositorarilor:
        The Tinsmith's Tower is 25m high, starts with a square base, then becomes a pentagonal structure, expands to an octagonal storey, while the roof finally forms a hexagon. A now lost inscription stated that a repair was carried out in 1583 and that the pentagonal bastion in front of the tower was also built at that time. The tower façade still shows traces of the bombardment during the Hungarian siege of 1704-1706.
