Brasov medieval fortifications, Romania

Ever since the Saxon settlers arrived in the early 12th century, invading Tartars, Turks and others gave them a tough time, repeatedly destroying the old settlements of Bartholomew and Corona. When they had quite enough of it all, the Saxons set themselves to build fortifications around their town, first consisting of earthen walls and wooden barriers, later reinforced with stones. Most work was done between 1400 and 1650, when outer and inner walls were erected, together with massive defense towers and gates. The defense wall was once 12 meters high and two meters thick and stretched for 3 km. Today parts of the walls, three Bastions, the two watch towers and the Citadel are left standing. The Bastions were built through the effort of the main craftsmen corporations, blacksmiths, weavers, goldsmiths, armoires and drummers and they hosted some of the trade centers of the medieval city.

Citadel of Brasov - Romania

The Citadel is part of Brasov's outer fortification system. Is located strategically overlooking the town and the plains to north (Barsa Plain).. At first some wooden protective walls was erected here, later, in 1529, destroyed by Petru Rares. On the same spot they built a stone citadel called Cetatuia (1553), destroyed by fire in 1618 and re-built in 1625. For protective purposes the inhabitants added to the initial building four massive stone bastions in 1630. The citadel was abandoned later, after technological innovations made cannons stronger than the building. It served as a garrison for habsburgic army (18th century) and prison for a while (1940-1954). Today the citadel is turned into a restaurant called „Cetate”.
