About

A 15th-century watch fortification raised on the Warthe rock, outside the walls of the Brașov citadel, serving to observe and defend the western flank.

Why it's worth it

The restored tower offers one of the finest panoramas over the historic centre and the Biserica Neagră. It is reached by a short walk uphill from the Șchei area.
