The Carpenter's Tower (Turnul Dulgherilor) dates back to 1357-1366, when the third ring of fortifications of the city was built. It was built by the local Saxon guild of carpenters. It is the northernmost of the three towers on Cetății Street. Over time, this tower has undergone a number of repairs and reconstructions. The current shape of the tower probably dates back to the early 16th century. The Carpenter's Tower was restored between 1967 and 1972 and again in 2007. It has a circular shape at the base. It then takes the shape of an octagonal prism, which is topped by the classic protruding part.
