Fő tér contains several museums, churches and monuments, including the massive Firewatch Tower , which can be climbed and houses a lovely new cafe. The 60m-high tower rises above the Old Town's northern gate and is visible from all around. In the centre of Fő tér is the 1701 Trinity Column . The Castle Wall Walk takes in ruins dating from the time when Sopron was a tiny Roman outpost known as Scarbantia.
The Firewatch Tower is a true architectural hybrid: the 2m-thick square base, built on a Roman gate, dates from the 12th century, the middle cylindrical and arcaded balcony was built in the 16th century and the baroque spire was added in 1680.
