| The ruins of the Rupea medieval fortress, located in Transylvania. Rupea Citadel is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Romania.
The first documentary attestation dates from 1324 when the Saxons revolted against King Charles I of Hungary and took refuge inside the citadel. According to archaeologists, the current citadel was built on the ruins of a former Dacian defense fort conquered by the Romans. The name of the citadel comes from Latin rupes meaning `stone`. |
