The Deva Fortress is considered one of the most important medieval forts in Transylvania. Its ruins can be seen from far away, as it is located on a hilltop that dominates the valley of the river Mures, one of the biggest in Romania. The fortress was built in the 13th century, on the Cetatii hill, a volcanic neck with a height of 378 meters, on top of fortifications dating back to ancient times. The fortress allows its visitors to enjoy the beautiful panoramas over the city and over the Mures Valley.
