Soimos Fortress (Cetatea Soimos) 20 miles east of Arad. Today, just east of Lipova, we visited the open stone ruins of Soimos Fortress, once guard keeper of the trading route between Transylvania and Crisana. Dating from the 13th century, the fortress was later abandoned around the year 1790. Vestiges of the Renaissance stonework can still be admired today. It was quite a hike up to the ruins, but breathtaking!
