Tips

The Crossbowmen's Tower (Turnul Archebuzierilor) dates from 1357-1366 and was part of the city's third fortification belt. It is the southernmost of the three towers in the preserved section of the city walls on Strada Cetății. It owes its name to the fact that there were keyhole-shaped loopholes on the first level through which the crossbow could be fired. Over time, the tower, which has the shape of an orthogonal prism, was rebuilt and raised. It was restored from 1967 to 1972.

Very well renovated old guard tower. By the way, this is not the only tower in this corner 🤩😉
