Discover the rich history and culture of Râșnov by visiting the iconic Râșnov Fortress, located at Str. Cetății nr. 17.

Today, visitors can explore the Fortress Garden, where they can take in stunning views of the surrounding landscape and learn more about the fortress's history through informative displays and exhibits. Built by Saxons and Teutonic knights during the 1211-1225 Crusade, the Râșnov Fortress has stood the test of time, resisting invasions by the Tatars in 1335 and the Ottomans in 1421. It served as a refuge for the Râșnov community until the 18th century and is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage.See more..
I enjoyed my visit at Fagaras Fortress. I wanted to visit it a few years back but it was on renovation. The renovations are still hapening today but you can visit the inside of the fortress which has a very interesting museum and a very beautiful Tower Hall. The museum was interesting, well preserved and maintained, everything looked nice: it had also English translations for foreign visitors. The price of the ticket was 20 RON per person I definitely found it interesting and worth a visit if you are nearby FagarasSee more..
