Rasnov Fortress (Cetatea Rasnov)
Built on a calcareous rock, the walls of the fortress can be seen far away from the Barsa plain.
The Rasnov fortress, located 15 km of Brasov on the Brasov-Bran road, was built in the same time with Prejmer citadel, being for the first time documentary certified in 1355. Due to the fact that the fortress was a link between Transylvania and Wallachia, it was attacked many times but just once was defeated when its inhabitants run out of water. This is the reason for digging a well inside of the fortress that it has 150m depth. During its history was consolidated and renovated many times.
A stroll along its ruined storehouses, thick walls with corridors for fighters worth the effort.
