Landmarks

Buglers' Tower - Turnul Trompeților - 46.1652193, 24.3509605 - So called because guards would search the horizon and sound an alarm by trumpet to warn people against enemy attack or fire, was added to the fortress's defense system in the 13th century. In 1880, a huge clock, showing the phases of the moon was set up in the tower. This tower proved to be a good spotting post. In those times the trumpeter in the tower had a great function, alerting about the approaching danger. If he made a mistake, he would've been thrown out from the top of the tower.

Stephan Ludwig Roth Memorial House 46.1667, 24.350557 - It was in this house that historian Stephan Ludwig Roth (1796-1849) was born. Roth challenged the 1884 Magyar Diet’s decision imposing Hungarian as the official language in Transylvania. As Romanians made up the bulk of the population, Roth claimed that Romanian was justified to be the official language. His progressive ideas led to his assassination in May 11, 1849.
