Brașov Fortress, Medieval fortress on Mount Strajă in Brașov, Romania.
The fortress features thick stone walls, narrow windows, and multiple defensive towers positioned strategically across its perimeter to control the surrounding valleys.
Built in 1524 initially from wood and later reconstructed in stone, the fortress protected the city of Brașov against Ottoman invasions during the Middle Ages.
The fortress includes exhibits displaying military artifacts, traditional weapons, and documents that showcase the defense techniques of medieval Transylvania.
Visitors can reach the fortress through a marked trail from the city center, with guided tours available in multiple languages from March through November.
The fortress contains underground chambers and tunnels that connected different sections, allowing soldiers to move undetected during military operations.
