Located in strategic places, fortresses - powerful and solid constructions, designed to reinforce economic power throughout the country and ensure the integrity of the state - were part of the defense system of the Moldavian principality. Well-armed garrisons were placed in them, ready at any moment to thwart the plans of the invaders.
An inquisitive reader will find on the pages of the book a wide variety of information about the Moldavian medieval fortifications: when and how the fortress was built, who developed the project and erected its towers, what elements it consisted of, what secrets its walls hid, how the fortress was defended and conquered, and also what it was like everyday life of defenders of the fortress.
