Tailors' Tower, Medieval defense tower in Sighisoara, Romania.
The Tailors' Tower stands with walls measuring 2.35 meters thick at its base, featuring a rectangular shape and a baroque-style roof design.
Built in the 14th century, the tower experienced a devastating fire in 1676 that destroyed its upper section due to stored gunpowder and ammunition.
The structure represented the tailors' guild activities, serving as a meeting point for craftsmen while maintaining its defensive purpose within the citadel.
Located opposite the Clock Tower, the structure contains two ground-level passages that provided access through the citadel's second gateway.
The tower features sandstone and river rock construction with dual vertically sliding gates, demonstrating medieval engineering techniques.
