Firewatch Tower

Tűztorony, Ger.:Feuerturm

Landmark of the city is the "fire tower", with a museum of history of the city. 61 m high, there is a wonderful panoramic view from the top. Its cylindrical lower part was built on the remains of the Roman town wall, and served as the north tower of the city from the 13th century onwards. Also on top of the tower is a double-headed eagle, that was a gift from King Ferdinánd II and Queen Eleonóra for the parliamentary session and queen's coronation, both held in Sopron in 1622.
