About
Quick facts: You can spot this tower from many points across the city since it's perched on one of the highest hills. It once served as part of the city's defensive system and now flies a huge national flag that can be seen from afar.
Highlights: Climbing up to the tower grants a fabulous panoramic view that stretches from the old town rooftops to the modern cityscape. At night, the tower is beautifully illuminated and offers a magical atmosphere often accompanied by live folk music events nearby.

- Arrive early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds and enjoy softer light for photos.
- Don't miss the small museum inside that tells the tower's fascinating history.
- Bring a camera to capture panoramic views over the city skyline from the observation deck.
