Under Mount Tâmpa on the south side of the Old Town is the most complete remnant of Brașov’s old fortifications.
In the 1500s the city’s guilds were responsible for looking after the city defences, and this bastion was in the hands of the weavers, keeping attackers at bay while also giving the weavers somewhere to store their wares.
The earliest architecture here is from the 1420s and an extra floor was added in the second half of the 16th century.
