Council tower of sibiu, Medieval tower in Sibiu, Romania

The Council Tower rises 54 meters high between the Great Square and Small Square, featuring a cone-shaped roof and an astronomical clock.

The tower contains exhibition spaces that display regional art collections and historical artifacts, reflecting the Saxon and Romanian heritage of Sibiu.
