Citadel Parc

The first park in Sibiu. The Promenade was arranged for the first time in 1791 instead of the moats and lakes outside the southern wall of the city. Later it was called "The Disabled Promenade." The current arrangement of the park, including the space between the walls, dates from 1928.

The walls of the Coposu Boulevard

Along the Boulevard Coposu 3rd ring of fortifications can be seen in all its brilliance.
Between the roadway and the wall there is a green area with trees arranged for the first time in 1791 in Haller Bastion and Great Tower, later extended to Cisnadie Bastion, and is known as the promenade. At the end of the Union Square the wall is pierced with a semicircular arch to allow the passage of pedestrians, as well as near the Great Tower.
In this segment of the wall, in the middle of it, there is a monument erected in 1828 during his visit in Sibiu of Emperor Francis I.

The Great Tower was built in the XVIth century. The first theater in Sibiu worked in 1778 in the tower. Recently, it has been renovated and incorporated in the Thalia Hall.

In front of the monument there is stele decorated with top military lenticular. A marble plaque specifies it was rigged up also in 1828 in honor of Johannes Vecsey. Between the monument and the stele in 1981 the architect Dan Fraticiu has built up a fountain.

At the intersection of Philharmonic Street and Boulevard Coposu, the wall was broken to allow the passage of cars. Here was the former Gate corpses, opened in the wall in 1554 during the plague epidemic.

The wall of the Fortress Street (1357 - 1366)

The segment of the fortification walls between the Carpenters’ tower and Potters’ tower escaped the "systematization" in XIXth century.
Nowadays, the wall has the appearance from the second half of the fifteenth century when it was rebuilt in brick and fitted inwards with wide arches supporting road watch. It has a wooden fence and a water roof supported by wooden pillars.
In front of the access to the Carpenters' Tower, inside, appears a kind of balcony, the tower being placed outside the wall, with a flanking role. Wall’s shooting places are adjusted to the arquebuses, the initial ones, the ramaparts for the archery being extended but also reduced in height.

The Thick Tower (Thalia Hall) - 1540

Intre str. Cetatii nr. 5 si Bulevardul Spitalelor

1540

Este o constructie masiva construita pe o bază semicircular, cu ziduri de caramida (baza fiind din piatra), precum şi o platformă pe care odata erau amplasate tunurile.

Turnul este în formă de U iesind in afara cu 25 de metri din zidul exterior. El a prezentat mai multe cazemate cu guri de tragere reprezentant o veritabilă maşină de război defensiv.

Turnul a fost ridicat de Marcus Pempfflinger în jurul anului 1540, primul teatru din Sibiu functionand in acest turn din 1778.

El a fost recent reabilitat în întregime şi este acum sediul Filarmonicii de Stat din Sibiu.

Between no. 5 Cetatii Street and Spitalelor Boulevard

It is a massive construction built on a semicircular base, with brick walls (the base being made of stone) and a platform where the canons were once placed.
The tower is u-shaped standing out by 25 meters from the exterior wall. It had several defensive levels representing a genuine war machine.
The tower was erected by Marcus Pempfflinger around 1540. The first theatre in Sibiu functioned in this tower since 1778.
It was recently rehabilitated entirely and it is now the headquarters of the State Philharmonics in Sibiu.

The Arquebusiers Tower 1357 - 1366

A fost reconstruit pe o fundatie octogonala. Mai tarziu a devenit Turnul Panzarilor, numit dupa breasla care il administra.

Este cel mai sudic dintre cele trei turnuri.

Turnul are forma unei prisme octogonale cu partea superioară ieşită în afară din corpul principal, sprijinită, la fel ca majoritatea turnurilor sibiene, pe console în ale căror arce de legătură sunt prevăzute guri de aruncare. Meterezele de la primul nivel sunt în formă de gaură de cheie. Până la înălţimea de 1 metru turn este construit din piatră, iar partea superioară este din caramida.

It was rebuilt on an octagonal foundation. It later became the Weavers' Tower, named after the guild which administrated it.

It is the southernmost of the three towers.

The tower has the shape of an octagonal prism with the superior part standing out from the main body, supported by consoles with arches in which holes for launching are placed.
The firing holes at the first level have the shape of a key hole. Up to the height of 1 meter the tower is built in stone and the superior part is made of bricks.

The Carpenters' Tower 1337 – 1366

Acesta este un turn de flanc, anexat la a doua incintă.

La bază prezintă o formă circulară, delimitată de porţiunea următoare printr-o cornişă pronunţată. De la acest nivel, turnul capătă forma unei prisme octogonale încheiat în partea superioară prin clasica porţiune ieşită în afară, susţinută de console cu guri de păcură între arce.

A fost restaurată în 1967.

Zidul care uneste cele doua turnuri este o reconstructie recenta a vechiului zid care odată le unea.

It is a flank tower annexed to the second precinct. It has a circular plan at the base. From the level of the cornice, the tower has the shape of an octagonal prism concluded in its superior part by a body standing out towards the exterior and sustained by consoles with crude oil holes between arches.

It was restored in 1967. The connective wall between these towers is a recent reconstruction of the old wall that once connected them.

The Potters' Tower

A fost construita in piatra in secolul XV si a fost consolidat un secol mai târziu.

Partea sa superioara, iesita în afara din corpul principal, este susţinută de un rând de console cu găuri utilizate pentru aruncare.

Cinci găuri de tragere pentru Archebuzieri sunt plasate de jur imprejur.

Sub streasina: metereze in forma de scari.

It was built in stone in the 15th century and it was consolidated a century later.
Its superior part, standing out from the main body, is supported by a row of consoles with holes used for launching.
Five firing holes for arquebuses are placed all around it.
Under the rain shadow: stair-like ramparts.
