Situated at the end of a picturesque cobblestone alley, Chindia Tower possesses a graceful silhouette; climbing up the 122 steps to the top affords the most wonderful panoramic view of the city and the surrounds. Also within the complex are attractions such as the Great Royal Church, the Royal Palace, Balasa House and St. Friday Church besides the History Museum that is a rich repository of artefacts testifying the region’s grand heritage.
