Romania

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

The Tailors' Tower (Romanian: Turnul Croitorilor, Schneiderturm of Sighişoara), belonging to Mureș County in Romania was built in the 14th century. It is located opposite to the Clock Tower and it guards the second gateway into the Citadel of Sighişoara. This tower is considered one of the most beautiful and impressive towers of the fortress due to its massiveness and simplicity. The two passages at the bottom suggest an early dating, probably in the late 12th or 14th century. The two gates were in ancient railings that slides vertically.
