Alba Carolina Citadel
Offline map Google map
The imposing Alba Carolina Citadel, richly carved with sculptures and reliefs in a
baroque style, is the dominant sight of the city of Alba Iulia, and worth stopping to see for
a couple of hours. It was originally constructed in the 13th century, although the fortress
you see today was built between 1714 and 1738.
Str Mihai Viteazul runs up from the lower town to the first gate of the fortress, adorned
with sculptures inspired by Greek mythology. From here, a stone road leads to the third
gate of the fortress, dominated by an equestrian statue of Carol VI of Austria . Above
