Sighișoara - Clock Tower
Medieval stone fortress in Mureș 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 Clock Tower in Sighișoara (14th century), 64 m high and the symbol of the medieval town, houses the History Museum with Dacian, Roman and medieval exhibits. From the upper level, the panorama over the UNESCO-listed town and citadel is spectacular.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
