Rasnov Citadel
First of all, what is a “citadel”?
It’s a fortress or castle in or near a city. It’s intended to give the inhabitants a refuge in case of a siege from some enemy.
Rasnov Citadel is the largest peasant citadel ever built in Southern Europe, its ruins standing on top of a hill near Transylvania. It has resisted a great number of sieges and only opened its gates to the invaders once, when the lack of water forced the defenders to give in. The 150 deep fountain inside the citadel tells a lot about this story of resistance.
The Rasnov Citadel is about 10 miles from Bran Castle also known as “Dracula`s Castle”.
Ghost Hunters International visited in early 2008. There have many reports of hauntings at the Rasnov Citadel.
