The Staircase (Pasajul Scărilor) connects the Lower Town with the Upper Town. Built in the 14th century, probably between 1357 and 1366, it was part of the third fortification belt of the medieval town. The Staircase, also called the "Needle Wall", has two stair branches and arches that surrounded the walls of the fortress around the Protestant church. The Upper Town was protected by a defensive wall in two terraces about ten metres high, supported by massive buttresses. These rested in supporting arches on buildings in the Lower Town, many of which were already six centuries old.
