The white tower has a good viewpoint over the ancient city of Brasov.

Can be reached from the old town via stairs (not for the faint of heart). Offers great panoramas over the old town. Two small towers keep watch over old Brasov from the Warthe hill on the northern side of the city: the so-called White and Black towers. While not identical (the white tower, above, is much larger) - were nevertheless built at the same time, late in the 15th century.

Anyone visiting Brasov should take a long walk along the old city walls. You will enjoy the White Tower, The Black Tower views, the Graft Bastion and the nice feeling behind the old walls.

White Tower (a.k.a. Turnul Alb) is a former defensive tower on Warthe Hill which protected the west side of medieval Brasov. A steep staircase (250m) ascends to it from Bastionul Graft. Alternatively, a delightful (and less steep) path through the woods starts from the small canal just west of Strada Dupa-Ziduri, north of Bastionul Fierarilor. The 20m semi-circular tower was built in 1494 on top of a rock, and gets its name from its whitewash coating.
