Used as a defensive system against the Tartar invasion, the Fortress suffered many siege attacks throughout history, every one of them putting a mark on the walls

Hold by voyevodes, dukes and duchesses, offered as a gift by some, sold by others, the remains of the Fortress hold strong, as the walls being the only witnesses of all those events who changed the history
