Făgăraș Citadel – history gain its voice

 width=In a society drowned in false values, carried by the current of the passage of time, we forget that a great future is built only when you know yourself and when you accept your past. In this way, I invite you to get to know the history of Romania in a relaxing and very pleasant way, thus succeeding in valuing and appreciating this proud and beautiful country, at its true value.

On hot summer days, a getaway to the mountains is the perfect solution to spend a relaxing vacation and to leave with a pleasant memory that will last even in tiring and exhausting days at work.

 width=Thus, I propose a visit to Făgăraș Citadel, the main tourist attraction in Făgăraș region. This feudal complex has a story dating back to the 14th century, representing an imprint of the bravery of the Romanians from time immemorial. Over the years, this fortress flourished, becoming more and more beautiful and imposing.

Făgăraș Citadel captured even the eyes of the great Mihai Viteazu, who gave it to his wife Mrs. Stanca, thus becoming, in peacetime, a shelter for the wealth of the great ruler, and during war being a very good strategic place, due to its location.

In the 17th century, Făgăraș Citadel acquired a new appearance, wearing an elegant gala dress. The 85 rooms of this grand castle represented the place where important princely families relaxed throughout history.

 width=The years sometimes go by without letting us know…and look at the Făgăraș Citadel, whose walls, if they could speak, might change history, have preserved their beauty, representing the most important touristic objective of Făgăraș. The well-preserved medieval atmosphere will envelop you from the moment you step inside the fortress. The words of the guide, but also the place itself, will make you arrive at the time of Mihai Viteazu and enjoy with him the battles won, thanks to the bravery of his soldiers as well as the massiveness of this blessed place.

Located only 90 km away from Poiana Brașov, Făgăraș Citadel is the tourist destination that Hotel Alpin recommends not to miss during your vacation, thus making it a joy for your mind and not just for your soul and body.

The treasures of a country are hidden in its history. History is the story waiting to be read, not only from books but, in a much more pleasant way, from the places where the stone hides long-lost deeds, which led to the creation of the Romanian people.

Hotel Alpin wishes you a pleasant holiday!
