This tower is the symbol of Targoviste. It is old and it had many uses (guard tower, bell tower and others to discover). The entry for the whole complex for an adult is 12 ron. From the top there is a splendid virw of the city and on the way you get a little lesson of romanian history (would be good of all of it is also translated into english). Visit it!

Targoviste is well worth jumping on the train out of Bucharest for. Chief among the highlights (including the police museum, history museum, and military complex where the Ceausescu's were executed) is the princely court - childhood home of Vlad the Impaler. The grounds and ruins are large, accessible and contain a lot of information (also in English) relating to the Wallachian rulers. There is also a stunning church full of frescoes, Chindia tower, and a museum of early printing & literature. We choose here over Bran for a trip out of Bucharest because it seemed more historically interesting and accurate, and were not disappointed at all.
