VISITING FAGARAS FORTRESS AND BRUKENTHAL PALACE | VLOG

Описание: I love history and especially medieval history so visiting Fagaras Fortress (in Romanian, Cetatea Fagaras), was a pretty big deal for me. It is one of the best maintained fortresses in Europe and it is one of the very few fortresses that has never been conquered! It was so well built that it stands until this day, even if it was built in 1310, on the ruins of a 13th century wodden fortresses. It has a pretty scary torture room where you can see medieval instruments of torture. There is also an impressive collection of medieval and even roman decorations, clothes, arms, armour and daily ustensils. Fagaras Fortress has also been a political jail during communist rule and thousands of intellectuals, priests and other people who opposed the system (ex opposed collectivisation which meant that that state was able to take your property and make it a common property and other terrible actions) were imprissoned here and kept in awful conditions (in the cold, on the floor, without daylight and even worse conditions). It is important that we do not forget the terrible things that happened here, to avoid things like that happening in the future. After we finished our tour, we headed to Brukenthal Palace, which was the summer residence of Brukenthal Barron, the governor of Transylvania. The palace suffered a lot of damage but the gardens are gorgeous and they are the perfect place for an outfoor wedding. We are now ready to head back to Bucharest and pack for our next trip: Spain!
