 demolished, historical layer / disappeared object, 18th century construction, 15th century construction

Complex of buildings, located between Piata Mare/Large Sq and Piata Mica/Small Sq, demolished in two stages:
- The first phase, demolition of the west side (with the adjoining Chapel of St. Ladislaus, Priests Tower, Gulden house) in 1898 to build the current building on S. Brukenthal Street No.4.
- The second phase, the demolition of the east side, toward Piata Mare/Large Sq, between 1903-1904 to build the Land Credit Bank Palace (current City Hall).
This complex of buildings was built starting with the first half of the 15th century, on the place of fortifications belonging to the second belt of fortifications encircling current Piata Mica/Small Sq.
Along with this complex was demolished an old defense tower belonging to the second fortification belt, located in the west end of the complex.
Through this tower was made the access to Piata Mare/Large Sq, from direction of Mitropoliei and Odobescu streets.
The tower lost its defensive role in the early-mid 14th century, being transformed and embedded in the complex of houses.
