Studies for Sighișoara Citadel Conservation –Ensemble Listed as World Heritage Site
Sighișoara Citadel, listed as world heritage site since 1999 under position 904, has been the object of many research studies and analyses. Sighișoara is an important tourist attraction due to its valuable built heritage and to its potential connection with Vlad the Impaler. The fortified area occupies around two thirds of the hill and is made up of a higher plateau dominated by the evangelical church and a lower plateau occupied by the medieval settlement. The medieval fortification includes both plateaus, walls, and towers. From the originally 14 towers, nine towers have been preserved. They are slightly changed, but still in use today.
The last research dates to 2020–2021. It consisted of modern recording, investigation methods intended to review and supplement the previous studies and assessments.
This paper is focused on the comparative analysis of the remaining nine tower structure, on the processing of the results of the new research on the roof and other timber structures, and on the analysis of the previous interventions. Moreover, the paper is focused on drawing the attention on the exceptional values of the historic load-bearing structures, and on the possibility to extend the analysis methodology to other towers in Transylvania.
The tower load-bearing structural systems consist of load-bearing walls in stone, brick, mixt masonry, vaults, and oak beam slabs. The roof structures with or without defence level are medieval structures of oak with one exception, which already bears the mark of Transylvanian Baroque roof structures.
