White Tower (Turnul Alb)

Built in the late 15th century by the Saxons, the White Tower (Turnul Alb) stands as a semicircular, five-story structure atop a steep hill, serving as part of the defensive fortifications against invading Turks and Tartars. Overlooking the city of Brasov, the tower offers panoramic views to those who climb its 200 steep stone steps. Visitors today can ascend to the top, where they are rewarded with sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape, providing a unique perspective on the historic and modern elements of the city.
