The citadel is a reformat church! It is in a great shape refurbished by EU founds. Unfortunately, you can not visit it the popes house in the rest of the rooms, the central part is the main church. It is impressive from outside. Enjoy!

Very cool structure. Currently being restored. The area around it is beautiful. Many beautiful buildings and a nice little restaurant right next to the walls. Park your car and walk around a bit if your passing through.

Nice Citadel. Be aware that you cannot go inside to visit it. You will be able just to go around and see the outside of the walls. At the time of review they are trying to renovate the church inside it. The renovation should be finished till the end of 2020.

Aiud Citadel (Cetatea Aiudului in Romanian) is located in the center of Aiud, and was built during medieval times (14th century), comprising many buildings. It is the main tourist attraction of Aiud. The citadel is fairly small, with a perimeter of 350 metres, and it is in the form of an irregular pentagon. The earliest documented evidence of the citadel extant today dates from 7 November 1293, a privilege issued by King Ladislaus IV - King of Hungary (1272–1290), but local tradition holds that the first stone watch tower was finished during the Mongol invasion of Europe in 1241. Other important events for the citadel: the serfs uprisings from 1437; the conquest of Michael the Brave; the Habsburg attack in 1704 and 1717; the Christian uprising - Religious war in 1758 - 1761; the peasant movement from 1784 and the Revolutionary wave of 1848 - 1849.
