The Butcher's Tower (Turnul Măcelarilor) was built in the second half of the 15th century. It is a hexagonal structure on an octagonal ground plan, which, together with the bastion in front of it, added later, provided a wide field of fire. The tower has three floors with five loopholes.

Sighisoara is today the only inhabited citadel in Romania. When the walls were built, each of the city's guilds had to build a tower at its own expense and keep it in good condition. The hexagonal Butcher's Tower dates from the 15th century and was rebuilt in the 16th century to its current appearance. Between it and the Turnul Cojocarilor, one of the city gates is located in the ring wall.
