Sighişoara is one of the most beautiful towns in the heart of Transylvania.

For several centuries Sighişoara was a military and political stronghold and German architectural influences are visible throughout the entire city.

One of its most famous attractions is the Clock Tower (Council Tower), built in the 14th Century. This was the control tower of the main gate of the 2,500 foot long defensive wall. The tower has seven foot thick walls and was used to store ammunition, food reserves, archives and the city's treasures.
