Stop At: Enisala Medieval Fortress, Enisala Romania
Enisala tells the hundreds of years old story of the time when the powerful Genovese merchants controlled the maritime commerce of the Black Sea.
The fortress was built at the beginning of the 14th century after the Genovese merchants took the monopoly of the Black Sea commerce from the Byzantine Empire. In search of new markets for their goods, the merchants raised the fortress on the location of an older Byzantine construction from the 10th-11th centuries, the fortress of Heracleea. The commercial activities flourished for the next two centuries, allowing the inhabitants of the fortress to buy expensive Italian and Turkish pottery as the archaeological discoveries indicate.
