Aiud - Medieval Fortress
Medieval stone fortress in Alba county
What it feels like
Stone-cold corridors, narrow windows, the weight of centuries under every arch. The kind of place where the silence is part of the architecture.
Aiud Fortress (Enyed), dating back to the 13th century, is one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in central Transylvania. The Shoemakers' Tower, the Tailors' Bastion and the enclosure wall form an impressive ensemble.
Best time to visit
