Enisala - Medieval Fortress of Dobruja
Medieval stone fortress in Tulcea 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.
Enisala Fortress (14th century), built by the Genoese on a limestone promontory above Lake Babadag, is the best-preserved medieval fortress in Dobruja. The panoramic view of the lake, the Delta and the Black Sea from the corner tower is one of the finest in Romania.
Best time to visit
