Historical Places
Alba Iulia Citadel: One Of The Biggest Fortresses In Eastern Europe
If you plan to visit Romania, then I highly suggest adding the Alba Iulia Citadel to your itinerary. The construction was completed in 1738 after the Habsburg Empire took control of Transylvania and the fortress had one of the most advanced defense systems of that time. The Austrians built the fortress to protect the area against the Ottomans and to secure their power. Located in Alba Iulia City, in southwestern Transylvania, the 18th century citadel has now been completely renovated and looks amazing, giving you a great way to spend the day (no entrance fee). Today, it’s one of the best landmarks in the country, packed with museums, restaurants and walkways all around it. The changing of the guard is also very interesting to watch — a display of Habsburg costumes, drums, torches and cannon firings. The ceremony takes place every day at 11:50 am and also on Fridays and Saturdays at 9 pm (from May to September). Keep reading to discover the four landmarks not to be missed inside the citadel.
