Făgăraș Citadel is located right in the center of the city with the same name (Făgăraș) in Brașov County. Its position is strategically placed at the halfway of the commercial road between Brașov and Sibiu. The first documents attesting the existence of the citadel date back to 1455, but the construction of the stone-made fortress was started in 1310, replacing an older fortification of earth and wood from the 12th century. The Făgăraș Fortress was built with tall and thick walls and, surrounded by a moat filled with water to defend Southern Transylvania from the powerful attacks of the Tartars and the Ottomans. In spite of the fact that the Făgăraș Fortress was attacked many times, it has never been conquered throughout its history. In 1599, The Ruler Prince of Wallachia, Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave) gifted the fortress to his wife, Stanca. Becoming also the Prince of Transylvania, he sheltered his family and even his treasury here. In the seventeenth century, the Făgăraş Fortress was the residence of the Transylvanian princes.
