There is a myth attached to Rāşnov Fortress. During a particularly long siege of the fortress, the citizens of Rāşnov were concerned about the lack of available fresh drinking water. Luckily, two Turkish soldiers, having been captured earlier, were put to the task of digging a well in the centre of the fortress. These two men were assured that they would be given their freedom once the well was completed. According to local legend, it took them 32 years to finish the well, but they were still killed afterwards. This famous well still sits in the centre of Rāşnov Fortress, and is 143 metres deep.
