Description
Deva Citadel
Deva Citadel is considered one of the most important Dacian fortresses in Transylvania. It was given as a gift, sold and bombed. Each of them left something behind: a defensive wall, a room, a ballroom. It was not only used for defense and occasional meetings but also to serve as a private dwelling or luxury houses. Discoveries suggest that the traces of occupation could date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age.
