The Tinsmiths' Tower is one of the nine towers located in the citadel of Sighișoara, belonging to Mureș County in Romania. It has the most expressive architecture: 25 meters high, the tower starts with a square base, right after the brick trunk stands in pentagonal shape and above suddenly widens and becomes octagonal. The roof, slightly unbalanced, has a hexagonal plan and the woodwork inside is a veritable masterpiece of carpenters of Sighisoara. The Tin Tower, together with the Clock Tower, has an exceptional defensive position.

A 12th-century Saxon complex, it is the historic centre of the city. Still inhabited, the citadel is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside the Citadel:
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.
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.
Casa Vlad Dracul
Alleged to be where Vlad Țepeș "The Impaler" (a.k.a. "Dracula") was born. Now is a restaurant.
Muzeul de Arme Medievale
Very small, but it contains an interesting selection of medieval weapons (swords, arrows, etc.)
Turnul cu Ceas
Built in 1360 and standing at 60-m tall atop the citadel hill. Balcony with a great view on the top. It includes a museum of local history with explanations mostly in Romanian.
