Perched on a hilltop, the Brasov Citadel, also known as the Citadel of the Guard (Cetățuia de pe Strajă), dates back to the 16th century. Originally constructed by the Saxons to protect the settlement from invaders, the citadel has had a varied history, serving as a prison, quarantine facility, and military barracks. Today, visitors can explore the site and enjoy panoramic views of the city, making it a popular spot for both history enthusiasts and those seeking a scenic overlook.
