Cetatea Devei
Let me show you Cetatea Devei, a castle that was started in 1242. It is a Historic Monument located in the city of Deva, within Hunedoara County, Romania. When you look up at the skyline, you can pick out the fortress sitting on top of a volcanic hill. It is a striking spot to visit if you want to see how the old fortifications used the natural terrain for defense. I have found that the height makes it a great landmark for anyone trying to get their bearings in the area. Whether you are interested in the architecture or the geography of the region, this site provides a clear example of how a volcanic hill was utilized to create a secure stronghold in the heart of the city.
