Turnul cu Ceas al Cetății Târgu Mureș

The Clock Tower of the Târgu Mureș Citadel guards the entrance to the medieval fortress and is one of the city's symbols. Originally built in the 15th century and rebuilt after fires, the massive tower, with its characteristic roof and clock faces visible from the square, today houses a history exhibition. From the top, up a narrow staircase, opens a fine panorama over Roses Square, the city's roofs and the surrounding hills. The tower is part of the Medieval Citadel complex, a well-preserved fortification with walls, guild bastions and a Reformed church inside, restored and turned into a pleasant space to stroll.

Together, the tower and citadel tell the story of a Transylvanian border town, multicultural and mercantile. It is an easy stop in the city centre, right for a visit of a few hours. Check the exhibition hours and tower access, which may be limited.
