2. Sibiu's Towers (Turnurile Sibiului)
• For hundreds of years, this walled town in the heart of Transylvania
was one of the most powerful and prosperous strongholds in
Europe. Surrounded by imposing walls, Sibiu's original fortifications
included 39 defensive towers, five bulwarks, four gates and five
artillery batteries.
• Although the entire network is remarkably well-preserved, the best-
maintained section is the southeastern side which has been
reinforced several times throughout the centuries since attacks most
often came from that direction.
• Three 15th century towers have withstood the test of
time: Harquebusiers' Tower (Turnul Archebuzierilor), Carpenters'
Tower (Turnul Dulgherilor) and Potters' Tower (Turnul Olarilor).
The 16-th century Great Tower (Turnul Gros) was the site of Sibiu's
first theatrical performance.
