The Rupea Fortress - located at 30 km from Brasov on the way to Sighisoara, the fortification was built on a basalt rock which is a natural monument. It has a history of over 2000 years; it has passed through various transformations and improvements over the years. The Rupea Fortress was built on the ruins of much older Dacian fortifications. The reason is obvious: its high location on the Cohalmului Hill offers the visitor a wide view, far reaching to the Tarnavelor Plateau which makes it a very strategic location.
