The Butchers' Tower is one of the nine towers located in the Citadel of Sighişoara, belonging to Mureș County in Romania. The Butcher's Tower was built in the late 15th century. Originally, the tower was shaped in an eight-sided prism, but in the 16th century it was rebuilt on a hexagonal plan and was raised with the specific purpose of enlarging the field of view over the small bastion built right in front of it. The tower has three floors with five loopholes, and access was made, in the past, by the fortress wall gallery. The fire from 1676 did not affect the tower. The latter, together with the bastion, had great importance in the defense of the western side of the Citadel.

Turnul Cojocarilor
Scara Școlarilor
an old stone staircase with a wooden roof along the whole span. This leads up to the Church on the Hill, the cemetery and the Joseph Haltrich High School (a.k.a. "School from the Hill"). Has 175 steps.
Casa Vlad Dracul
Alleged to be where Vlad Țepeș "The Impaler" (a.k.a. "Dracula") was born. Now is a restaurant.
Turnul Frânghierilor
Interesting show where they explain the real story of Vlad Tepes in rooms decorated to the story. The story is told only in English, Romanian and Spanish. Mostly a speak show, so it's not worth if you are not fluent on one of those languages.
