Castle of Târgu Mureș, Medieval fortress in Târgu Mureș, Romania.
The Castle of Târgu Mureș stands with robust stone walls, multiple bastions, and fortified gates surrounding a central courtyard in Transylvania.
Prince Stefan Bathory commissioned the construction of this defensive stronghold in 1492 to protect the Franciscan monastery and local inhabitants.
