Cetățuia de pe Strajă

"Brașov's citadel, overlooking the oldest part of the city still partially encircled by medieval era walls, dates from the 1400's. Over the centuries, it was expanded from an original wooden structure to be a larger defensive complex. When no longer needed as a fortress, the structure was used as a warehouse, barracks, prison, and restaurant. For many years, the fortress was privately owned and the interior was inaccessible to visitors. As of September 2023, the fortress has been returned to the City of Brașov. The city aspires to restore the fortress and establish it as a destination for tourism and events. In the meantime, the fortress exterior remains accessible by a footpath and (partially) by a road. It's worth the hike up for views of Centrul Veche, especially at sunset. "
