The Black Tower of Brasov is a historic place in the Romanian city of Brasov. It is a four-story square tower built on Warthe Hill in the 15th century to protect the west side of medieval Brasov. The 11-meter-tall tower was built to stop invaders from approaching the city defenses.
While the Black Church and Council Square are generally the center of attention in Brasov, the Black Tower is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Its serene elegance and historical significance make it an essential feature of any Brasov tour. As you wander through the city's narrow streets, don't miss the opportunity to uncover the secrets held within the Black Tower's walls.
Today, the tower is open to visitors and offers a panoramic view of the city. The tower is also home to an exhibition that showcases the history of Brasov and its fortifications.
The tower can be reached by climbing a steep path that ascends from the small canal just west of Strada Dupa Ziduri Nr. 1.
