Fierari bastion of Brașov, Medieval bastion in Brașov, Romania
The Fierari bastion exhibits a pentagonal structure with three levels and features small cannon ports and holes designed for pouring hot tar.
Initially built as a tower in 1521, the bastion experienced multiple reconstructions due to floods in 1526 and 1667, receiving its final form in 1668.
The name Fierari, meaning blacksmiths in Romanian, reflects the connection to the metalworking trades that operated in this section of medieval Brașov.
The bastion now houses the State Archives, containing historical documents, and visitors can access information about tours through local institutions.
Following the great fire of 1689, the bastion remained in ruins for two decades before undergoing extensive repairs, including brick arcade additions in 1709.
