Turnul Ciunt
Romania, Romania
Turnul Ciunt in Salonta, Bihor County, Romania, is the oldest surviving structure from the town's former fortress, constructed between 1606-1630 as a watchtower for soldiers, weapons storage, and gunpowder depot during defensive efforts against Ottoman threats. Named "Ciunt" (truncated) after losing its roof in a fire and remaining roofless for 240 years, the brick tower with thick walls was restored in 1889 and now houses the Arany János Memorial Museum dedicated to the renowned Hungarian poet born nearby. This modest medieval remnant symbolizes Salonta's layered history amid Transylvania's border conflicts, attracting visitors to its cultural exhibits despite its simple, sturdy form.
