The bastion fortification of Alba Iulia is the most expansive fortress in Romania, a historical marvel that has endured for well over 300 years. It offers a jump back through two thousand years of history, allowing you to wander amid remnants of three different fortifications, each hailing from a distinct era. Each successive fortress enveloped its predecessor: the Roman castrum was overlaid by the medieval fortress, which was in turn encompassed by the Alba Carolina Citadel.
The Citadel’s subterranean labyrinth, known as the Catacombs, has harbored a unique wine cellar for over seven decades, housing a collection of over 5,000 wine bottle cultivated from 1952-1972. Access to this cellar was heavily regulated for several decades. However, following a renovation in 2018, the cellar opened its doors to the public. Tour this incredible wine bank and sample fine wines from a collection housing over 12,000 highly-rated wine bottles.
