The fortress, a medieval stronghold built in the 14th century and later reinforced by Stephen the Great, stands as a testament to the region's resilient military history.

The area is also a significant spiritual hub, surrounded by world-famous monasteries like Agapia and Văratec, which are celebrated for their unique architecture and spirited monastic life.
