Turnu Severin - Medieval Fortress
Medieval stone fortress in Mehedinți 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.
Severin Fortress, built in the 13th century on the site of the Roman fort of Drobeta, was one of the most important fortresses of the Banate of Severin. The restored corner tower and partly preserved walls can be seen in the park in the town centre.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
