Suceava Princely Citadel
Medieval stone fortress in Suceava 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.
The Princely Citadel of Suceava, residence of the rulers of Moldavia from 1388, is the most important medieval monument in northern Romania. The impressive ruins of the citadel, with a perimeter of 780 m, offer a superb panorama over the city and its surroundings.
