The Fortress on the Guard was an important defense fortification, located outside the Brasov Fortress, in order to prevent its attacking and especially its bombing from the surrounding heights. It is declared a historical monument of national importance. The citadel is located north of the Brasov Fortress (the historical center of the city), on Straja Hill (Dealul Cetăţii) between Brașovechi and Blumăna.
