Trascăului Fortress, also called Colțești Fortress, is located west of Colțești village and about 5 km southwest of Rimetea (Iron Castle) in Alba County. It was built around 1296 by the voivode (title of military commander or Slavic ruler) Thorotzkay from Trascău as a habitable and refuge fortress.

In 1713 the fortress was conquered and "destroyed" by the Austrian House of Habsburg. Centuries have passed since this devastation, but some of the walls and two standing towers are well preserved and offer a wonderful backdrop to the unique landscape of Transylvania.

The city received the German name Karlsburg and the Hungarian name Károlyfehérvár only in 1711 under Emperor Charles VI.
