Abstract
The fortification of medieval Fehérvár (Alba Civitas), located in the present-day city of Székesfehérvár, has been the focus of research for a hundred years now. Its construction date was clarified thanks to Gyula Siklósi’s work in the past three decades. He argues that the town was fortified with a stone wall in the 13th century AD, after the Mongol Invasion. However, novel scientific methods, as well as recent archaeological excavations, yielded new results concerning the architectural history of the fortification. Most notably, dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating, and stratigraphic observations confirmed that parts of the stone wall and the earth-and-timber rampart inside it had already been built by the mid-11th century AD.
