  • 4. Turnul Croitorilor Sighisoara
    The Tailors' Tower (Romanian: Turnul Croitorilor, German: Schneiderturm}} of Sighişoara, belonging to Mureș County in Romania was built in the 14th century. It is located opposite to the Clock Tower and it guards the second gateway into the Citadel of Sighişoara. This tower is considered one of the most beautiful and impressive towers of the fortress due to its massiveness and simplicity.

Its importance lies primarily in the fact that in the basement you can find traces of plugged loopholes which prove how high the ancient walls were. This tower is a prism with a squared base. Like neighbouring tower of Goldsmiths, it overlaid the old stone enclosure on top; this is due to the fact that in the basement signs of the original battlements can be seen. In 1630 the tower was repaired by Major M. Eisenberger.
