Mediaș - Trumpeters' Tower
Medieval stone fortress in Sibiu 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 Trumpeters' Tower in Mediaș (1550), the town's tallest medieval tower (68 m), is the symbol of Mediaș and one of the tallest medieval towers in Romania. The panorama from the top takes in the Transylvanian Plain and the Harghita Mountains.
