Deva Fortress is being considered as one of the most important medieval fortifications in Transylvania.
Built in the XIII-Th century on a volcanic hilltop Deva Fortress has a great history.

Used as a defensive system against the Tartar invasion, the Fortress suffered many siege attacks throughout history, every one of them putting a mark on the walls

Hold by voyevodes, dukes and duchesses, offered as a gift by some, sold by others, the remains of the Fortress hold strong, as the walls being the only witnesses of all those events who changed the history

Much more damaged than the castle you showed a week or so ago. :D
But still seems interesting as it is on a hill surrounded by forest and in the tale the city.

I am waiting to get lead through a lot of other interesting places in Roumania. ^^
