Cluj-Napoca - Tailors' Bastion
Medieval stone fortress in Cluj county
What it feels like
Stone-cold corridors, narrow windows, the weight of centuries under every arch. The kind of place where the silence is part of the architecture.
The Tailors' Bastion (1627), the only surviving bastion of the medieval defence system of Cluj, houses the Pharmacy Museum, with a collection of pharmaceutical containers, equipment and documents from the 17th-19th centuries, unique in Romania.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
