Neamț Citadel

"Constructed in the late 1300's by Peter the First of Moldavia, Neamț Citadel was part of a larger defense system throughout what is now the northern part of Romania. It was in use through the early 1700's. Attempts were made to convert the fortress ruins into a historic site in 1940 but halted due to the outbreak of World War II. In 2009, the citadel was finally opened as a museum complex and historical site. Visitors to the citadel can now see such restored spaces as the Council and Judgment Hall, the Chamber of Secrets, the Black Dungeon, and the Chapel of St. Nicholas. The citadel is regularly open year round Tuesday-Sunday. Check their website for specific events, hours, and ticket prices prior to planning your visit. "
