Bihor, Medieval fortress in Târgu Neamț, Romania.
The Neamt Castle stands on Timus Rock, rising above Târgu Neamț with its three-meter thick walls built from river stones and green sandstone.
Peter I of Moldavia constructed this fortress in the late 14th century as part of a defense system against the Ottoman Empire's expansion.
The castle includes specific chambers for minting coins, storing weapons, preparing food, and conducting trials, representing medieval Moldavian administrative functions.
Visitors can reach the fortress via National Road DN15, by train to Târgu Neamț station, or through Suceava International Airport.
The fortress withstood a siege by Mehmed II in 1476 thanks to its strategic position and military innovations implemented by Stephen the Great.
