Sibiu - Thick 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 Thick Tower (1540) is the most massive tower of Sibiu's defensive system, with walls 4 m thick. Today it houses a museum of medieval weapons and torture instruments, with impressive collections of armour and arms.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
