Sibiu 1 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The thick tower 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.

Hello Alin!

Impressive tower, great architecture photo! The "cental" composition works very well in this case, the framing is good, likewise! Flawless light management, beautiful colors!

dear Alin,
very unique and humorous tower house it is,
this design is really original and in my feeling it looks like a funny face with triangle cap on it,
anyway, white round figure and deep blue sky make strangely attractive contrast.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Interesting roud tower. As you mention in your note, the windows seeem to have been sized for different kinds of weapons, probably muskets on the ground level and gun on the next floor. But hard to tel for the last one.

All the best,

Emmanuel
