Cetatea Biharia, Medieval fortress in Biharia, Romania.
The fortress features earthen walls reaching heights between five and seven meters, with a rectangular layout measuring 115 by 150 meters.
The fortress belonged to Voivode Menumorut and withstood a Hungarian siege for 13 days at the end of the 10th century.
The structure served as a Roman Catholic episcopal residence in the 11th century before the seat transferred to Oradea.
The fortress sits 14 kilometers north of Oradea, with water-filled trenches spanning 15 to 20 meters in width surrounding the perimeter.
The defensive system includes a circular bastion known as the Maidens' Fortress on its eastern side near the river.
