Fagaras Fortress is located in the town of Fagaras in Transylvania, in the central part of Romania. Built in 1310 on the site of a former 12th century wooden fortress, Fagaras was enlarged between the 15th and 17th centuries and was considered one of the strongest fortifications in Transylvania. The fortress was surrounded by a deep moat which could easily be filled with water. The fortress boasts three floors, five towers and four bastions. Fagaras Fortress functioned mainly as a residence for various princes and their families. Transylvanian Prince Gabriel Bethlen (1613-1629), strongly influenced by the Italian Renaissance, rebuilt the fortress, bestowing elegance and beauty to the construction. During the rule of Georg Rákóczi (1630-1649), the castle's fortifications were doubled and the moat was enlarged. Ráckózi had the bastions bridged and covered, the moat paved with stones, the bridge and the casemates repaired and a guardhouse built. The entry of Făgăraş Fortress in the property of the Habsburg Empire in 1696 and its transformation into a military garrison was the beginning of a period of decline. Serving military purposes, the castle and fortress of Făgăraş lost their former elegance and splendor. Between 1918 and 1948, the fortress was a Romanian army garrison. From 1918 to 1924, it served as a place of refuge for White Russians who fled the Bolsheviks. Also, after the fall of Poland in 1939, a large number of Poles found refuge in the fortress. Between 1948 and 1960, the fortress was transformed into a communist political prison until 1960 when it was turned into a museum. Fagaras Fortress houses the Museum of Fagaras Country having mixed profile (history, ethnography, art). It includes 20 collections, exhibition of Fagaras representing the evolution of civilization in a string of moments and significant events. Remember by the famous exhibit The Iron Maiden. In recent years, the fortress has been extensively restored, strengthened and equipped with museum inventory, essential being the restoring of the Great Hall of the Throne.
Cetatea Făgăraș este situată în orașul Făgăraș (jud. Brașov) din Transilvania, în partea centrală a României. Construită în 1310 pe locul unei foste cetăți de lemn din secolul al XII-lea, cetatea actuală a fost lărgită între secolele XV și XVII, fiind considerată una dintre cele mai puternice fortificații din Transilvania. Cetatea era înconjurată de un șanț adânc care, la nevoie, putea fi ușor de umplut cu apă. Fortăreața are trei etaje, cinci turnuri si patru bastioane. Cetatea Făgăras a funcționat în principal ca reședință pentru diferiți prinți și familiile lor. Gabriel Bethlen (1613-1629), puternic influențat de Renașterea italiană, a reconstruit cetatea, dăruind eleganță și frumusețe construcției. În timpul domniei lui Georg Rákóczi (1630-1649), fortificațiile castelului au fost dublate iar șanțul a fost mărit. De asemenea, pe timpul lui Ráckózi s-au acoperit bastioanele, șanțul a fost pavat cu pietre, podul și cazematele reparate și s-a construit un corp de gardă. Intrarea Cetății Făgăraș în proprietatea Imperiului Habsburgic în 1696 și transformarea ei într-o garnizoană militară a fost începutul unei perioade de declin. Servind scopurilor militare, castelul și cetatea Făgărașului și-au pierdut din fosta lor eleganță și strălucire. Între 1918 și 1948, cetatea a fost folosită ca garnizoană a armatei române. De asemenea, între 1918 și 1924, a servit ca adăpost pentru albii ruși care au fugit de bolșevici. În anul 1939, după căderea Poloniei, un număr mare de polonezii s-au refugiat în cetate. Intre anii 1948 si 1960, cetatea a fost transformată în închisoare politică comunistă. Din anul 1960, cetatea devine muzeu. Cetatea Făgăraș adăpostește Muzeul Țării Făgărașului având profil mixt (istorie, etnografie, artă). Cuprinde 20 de colecţii. Expoziţia de bază prezentă evoluţia civilizaţiei Ţării Făgăraşului într-o înşiruire de evenimente semnificative. De amintit faimosul exponat ”Fecioara de Fier”. În ultimii ani, cetatea a fost intens restaurată, consolidată și dotată cu inventar muzeistic. De primă importanță este refacerea Marii Săli a Tronului, redată circuitului turistic în anul 2015.

Romania,Brasov...Fagaras Fortress and the second home of Prince Charles , Viscri
The second best castle in the world is in Romania, #Fagaras.The Fagaras Fortress came in second in Hopper’s “Ten Best Castles In The World” ranking, published by Huffington Post. Hopper is an online trip planning engine, powered by the world’s largest structured database of travel information.
Hopper’s top ten castles are “recommended to self-respecting history buffs, architecture-lovers or castle enthusiasts”.
The #Viscri village was very nice and well preserved Saxon village somewhere in Transylvania. A mid-point in our trip between Brasov and Fagaras. And maybe the fact that the village doesn’t have a paved street and is far from the main road helps to preserve its authentic view of a Saxon village from the Middle Ages.
The most interesting fact about the Transylvanian village is that HRH Prince Charles himself has a B&B in Viscri. It is a well preserved and authentic furnished blue Saxon-Transylvanian house. You can have a great stay in this beautiful house.
#Rupea Citadel is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Romania, the first signs of human settlements dating from the Paleolithic and early Neolithic. The first documentary attestation dates from 1324 when the Saxons revolted against King Charles I of Hungary and took refuge inside the citadel.

We went into Fagaras Fortress and the museum inside to see what information they had on Vlad Dracula. Of course they were also under construction as was most of the places we visited, but we still got some great footage.
