The ensemble of the fortified church from Biertan is made up of three concentric walls, the inner ones being circular. This walls were connected by tower - gates. Thus the second and the third walls are connected by the Townhall Tower. Between this tower and the first tower of the gate (found on the second wall of the precincts)there is a cart track,that could be blocked at any time by a vertical gate.
