Ruinele cetății Székely Támadt, Medieval fortress ruins in Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania.
The fortress features square bastions following Italian military architecture and retains remnants of defensive walls surrounding its perimeter.
Prince Bathori Istvan initiated the fortress construction between 1490 and 1492, using materials from a former monastery documented in the 15th century.
The fortress name reflects tensions between Transylvanian rulers and local Szekler population, leading to significant social changes in the region.
Visitors can reach the fortress through marked paths that provide views of Odorheiu Secuiesc and obtain information from local tourist offices.
A water-filled moat system connected to Tarnava Mare river once enhanced the defensive capabilities of the four bastions: Foris, Hajdu, Telegdy, and Banffy.
