Cluj-Napoca Tailors' Bastion, Medieval defensive structure in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
The Tailors' Bastion stands at the southeast corner of Cluj-Napoca's former citadel, featuring stone walls with crenels and gun holes for defense purposes.
Built in the 15th century under King Sigismund of Luxemburg's privileges, this bastion remains the sole survivor of eighteen original fortification towers.
The Centre for Urban Culture within the bastion maintains three floors of exhibition spaces dedicated to architectural history and regional development.
Visitors can explore multiple levels of the structure, which reopened in 2007 following extensive municipal restoration efforts to preserve its historical elements.
General Baba Novac, whose statue now stands adjacent to the bastion, was executed at this location in 1601 during the Long Turkish War.
