Weavers' Bastion
Bastionul Țesătorilor
Brașov's best-preserved medieval bastion, defended by the weavers' guild, with a 17th-century model of the old city inside.
Brașov's medieval city walls were built and defended in sections by the various guilds. The Weavers' Bastion dates from the 15th century and was expanded in the 17th century into a four-tier timber gallery structure, making it the best-preserved defensive work in the city. The bastion houses a museum displaying weapons, guild artefacts and a large model of 17th-century Brașov, which shows the layout of the walls and gates at the time. A ticket is required, and the museum is usually closed on Mondays. It stands beside the city wall path at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain and can be combined with the Tâmpa cable car.
