Black Tower

The Black Tower is a watchtower of Brașov's fortifications, built around 1460 on a rock outside the western city wall to keep attackers on the Warthe hill away from the walls. It takes its name from a lightning strike in 1559 that burned its roof and blackened the walls; restored in the 1990s with a glass top, it overlooks the old town.
