Here it is a description i found . It was built in 1310. on the site of a former 12th century wooden fortress, burned by the Tartars in 1241, Fagaras was enlarged between the 15th and 17th centuries when it was considered one of the strongest fortifications in Transylvania. The fortress was surrounded by a deep moat which, in times of war or social unrest, could easily be filled with water from a nearby mountain brook. A bridge over the moat provided the only access point. The fortress boasts strong defending walls and five watch towers.
I took this picture in December last year when it was too warm for the winter but good for a stroll around.
