Seat Fortress of Suceava, Medieval fortress in Suceava, Romania.
The fortress stands on a plateau 70 meters above the Suceava Valley, featuring two concentric citadels with defensive walls and circular towers.
Built between 1375 and 1391 during Petru II of Moldavia's reign, the fortress served as the capital of Moldavia until 1565.
The fortress represents the medieval military architecture of Moldavia and demonstrates the engineering capabilities of the 14th-century builders.
The fortress contains digital facilities where visitors can participate in medieval simulations and try on period costumes throughout the year.
The structure successfully resisted the 1476 attack by Sultan Mehmed II, remaining unconquered throughout its operational history.
