The Tin Coaters Tower (Sighişoara)

Romania / Mures / Sighisoara / Sighişoara
 tower, fortification, historical building
This is a robust and at the same time strange building, combining a pentagonal drum over a rectangular platform, above which there are the ramparts forming an octagonal floor, and in top of it there is the hexagonal roof, with unequal sides. The mortar, riddled with bullets and cannon balls, gives the impression of a building that went through the heats of many battles. The tower is completed by the Gunmen’s Gallery, a sole exemplar in the architecture of the citadel.
