Stephen's Tower, Medieval tower in Baia Mare, Romania.
The neo-Gothic tower rises 40 meters above Citadel Square, featuring intricate stonework and a copper-covered roof installed during renovations in 2007.
Built between 1347 and 1376 as a bell tower for Saint Stephen's church, the structure underwent multiple restorations after fires caused by lightning in 1647 and 1769.
The tower remains a central symbol of Baia Mare, appearing on both historical and modern versions of the city's official coat of arms.
Visitors can climb to the observation deck through the tower's interior staircase between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM for views across the city landscape.
Four mechanical clocks from Presov were installed in 1628, marking each face of the tower during its historical evolution from church bell tower to city monument.
