Tower

The tower, the "donjon" of the former fortress of Ciacova or CULA, as the locals say it, dates back to the fourteenth century and was built for military purposes. Built of bricks on four levels - ground floor and three upper floors - in a rectangular plan with corner buttresses, 23.70 meters high and with a foundation over four meters deep, Cula resisted over the centuries. A similar construction is found in Vršac, Vojvodina. Text and photo source: http://turismtimis.ro/

Tower – bell is the oldest vestige of Lugoj and belonged to the former "St. Nicholas" church - monastery, founded in the XIV-XV century. There are no reliable data on the year of construction. Some researchers argue that the church - to which the actual bell belongs - was built of wood by the monks coming from Wallachia. Text and photo source: http://www.turismlugoj.ro/
