Review & FAQ:
Poenari Citadel, also known as Poenari Castle, is the ruins of a structure originally erected in the early 13th century. It was abandoned for many years before Vlad the Impaler built one of his main fortresses there, consolidating the structure. A majority of the walls and towers still stand today and visitors can climb and explore the citadel and its marvelous 13th-century mortar work. A visit to Poenari Castle also provides spectacular views of the cliff-side surroundings. Taking a tour with a knowledgeable guide will give visitors an insight into the many legends that surround this wondrous citadel.
