Mikó Castle, Renaissance castle in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania.
The quadrilateral fortress spans 75 meters in length and 70 meters in width, featuring four Italian bastions at each corner of its perimeter.
Construction of the castle began in 1623 under Ferenc Mikó, supreme captain of the Székely seats, and reached completion during the 1630s.
The castle now houses the Ciuc Szekler Museum, containing exhibits that present the traditions and daily life of the Székely people.
The castle opens its gates to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours through its military architecture and ethnographic collections.
The southern bastion transformed from a gunpowder depot into a chapel displays late Baroque ceiling decorations and cylindrical vaults.
