Revitalizing disadvantaged regions by reinventing local poles (Case study: the Fortress of Ciceu Region). The Fortress of Ciceu, the core of an area which used to stretch over the territory of 63 villages during the Middle Ages, is currently in a very advanced state of degradation. The former domain of Ciceu, a possession in Ardeal of Moldavian princes Ştefan cel Mare, Petru Rareş or Alexandru Lăpuşneanu, includes today rural human communities in search of economic and cultural activities able to restore their importance from the 13th to 14th centuries. Therefore, having no industry and considering that a large part of the territory belongs to the disadvantaged agricultural areas, it has to fi nd new types of support, following the successful example of other areas in a similar position. Thus, by restoring the fortress and the surroundings (including the reconstruction of certain landmarks located on the site, landscaping arrangements to highlight the overall design and the introduction of animated routes – vantage point, demonstrative workshops, etc.), the national cultural heritage to which the fortress belongs as an A class historical monument will be properly highlighted, bringing important and direct benefi ts to the local communities.
