Описание к видео Romania HiLites: Poenari Fortress ( The Fortress of Vlad Tepes)

The Poenari Fortress is placed on the top of Cetatuia Mountain, at 25 km north from Curtea de Arges. Its name was given after that of a village found at 6 km distance. It is also known as "The Fortress of Vlad Tepes" or "The Fortress of Negru Voda".

Initially the nucleus of the fortress consisted of a squared tower (the external sides: 8,15m x 8,5 m the inner sides: 4,30m x 4,60m). It is considered to be built in the first half of the 14th century, during the reign of Basarab 1 (1324-1351/1352), the founder of Walachia.

The fortress was built directly on the rock. It is made of mortar pasted crude stone. It had three wooden Floors. Its roof was shingle covered.
