You visit of you research the Internet about it as there is no signage towards it from main road and even when getting there you have to look a bit for the pathway up from the curve of the road. It is a relatively large area enclosed by which were reconstructed after the excavation in the 60s. The fortress is known it be used after Hungarian conquest of Transylvania (which some deny, even if proven by own chronicles) and by Romanians it is linked to Gelou the Vlach (which again is contested some theories saying that he was a tartar actually). The view is nice and towards the point of the triangle there are 2 hills which make it more beautiful. Not much to see, but it is worth a short detour. What is sad is that beyond particular Hungarians which obviously have a political interest, some Romanians also publish articles that only deny pro-Romanian hypotheses about this place or the related centuries period without actually more solid proof. Some medieval still remains visible. Inside the circle is grass. The ancient structures are buried. There are no official marks to the fortress, neither any information panels. The best way is to stop about 150~200 meters after the curve of the main road and go up the pathway. The area is partially clean/ the tall grass mown. The which were reconstructed after the excavation in the 60s, represent the base of fortress. Not much to see, but it is worth a short detour. What is sad is that the local authorities could've made some information assistance, as panels or some kind of activities during the weekend for historical revival. A surprise along the route, very easy to access. Merita venit aici măcar odată, in special la apus…Fiind situată pe Dealul Cetății, oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra văii Lonei. Ok The first Romanian voivodship in Transylvania was established here between 850-901 AD. The Greek writer mentions Gelu “the vlach” as the ruler Not much too see, just some The fortress itself is not greatly preserved, but the encircle the hill almost entirely preserving the feeling of a hillfort It's a serene place, worth a visit. Too bad it lacks panels detailing the history of the place and it could use some better restauration works Nice view from the fortress. No indicators, but the are visible from the main road. Totala lipsa de respect si interes pentru istoria noastra!😥 Superb,...păcat ca autoritățile locale nu au nici măcar un indicator către cetate,...e păcat ca o cetate de 1000 ani sa nu fie exploatata turistic,...e păcat ca oricine se poate apropia de ziduri și poate sa le distrugă,...sincer nu inteleg de ce primăria nu se ocupa Nimic îngrijit. Nimic de văzut. Totul lăsat în paragină. 😪😪 Ruine,ziduri, istorie O locatie frumoasa, merita vizitata daca vi se afla pe traseu. Aparent este si usor accesibila, ceea ce nu ma asteptam! Recomand tuturor drumetilor si curiosilor sa viziteze aceasta cetate considerata a fi apartinut voievodului Gelu!
