Potters Tower, Medieval defensive tower in Sibiu, Romania.
The stone and brick structure reaches 19.60 meters in height and features a rectangular base that narrows at the intermediate floor level.
Built in the 14th century, the tower underwent modifications in the 16th century as part of the third defensive compound protecting medieval Sibiu.
The name reflects the connection to the potter's guild, which maintained and protected this section of the city wall during medieval times.
Located on Cetatii Street between the Gunsmiths Tower and Woodworkers Tower, visitors can access the structure from Tuesday through Sunday.
The tower contains five specific firing holes designed for arquebuses and includes stair-like ramparts for defensive positioning during attacks.
