Surrounded by a moat, this is the only fortress of its kind in Romania. In the early seventeenth century, the city became the princely residence of Michael the Brave. From 1948 until 1960 the castle was used as a prison. In one of its towers The Iron Lady was found; a medieval torture device. The castle now hosts Fagaras Country Museum, which dedicated to local history and the municipal library.

Very long day, for was interesting, Sibiu was very good

Absolutely incredible! I can't give an adequate review because of the character limit. The tour guide was way beyond anything I expected. He actually took us to other spectacular places that were not on the agenda. It was a real look at Romania that will always remain in my memory. Well done!
