位於主要廣場伏特北端的16世紀防火警示塔是匈牙利城市索普朗的象徵。它建於13世紀前羅馬城牆遺址上,於1676年大火後重建。
一個116級的狹窄螺旋形樓梯通向這座60米高的塔樓的頂峰,喇叭手會發出火災警示、報時、並觀察試圖走私非索普朗葡萄酒的人。
The 16th-century Firewatch Tower at the north end of Foter, the main square, is the symbol of Sopron, Hungary. Constructed on the remains of the former Roman town wall in the 13th century, it was rebuilt after a great fire in 1676.
A narrow spiral staircase of 116 steps leads to the summit of this 60m-high tower, from which trumpeters would warn of fire, mark the hour and watch for salespeople trying to smuggle in non-Sopron wine.
