Rupea Fortress is located on Cohalmului hill form Rupea Village. The Rupea Fortress, as we are told today, covers an area of almost 11 ha with walls, towers and inner courtyards. Due to its dominant position near the European road E 60, near the city, it is a remarkable presence from a long distance.In spite of speculation advanced by different authors, it is certain that its surface was used in prehistory, but not in antiquity, by Dacians or Romans. The year of its first documentary record is 1324 making Fortress Rupea one of the oldest archaeological sits in Romania.
