It is preferred to use the term Cetatea de Saun a Suceava and not Citadel of Suceava, because in Suceava there were two fortresses: Cetatea de Saun and Cetatea de Apus (Cetatea Șcheia), both of which were built by voivode Petru I Mușat (c. 1375 - c. 1391).

Suceava Citadel was part of the fortification system built in Moldova at the end of the 14th century, at the time of the appearance of the Ottoman danger. The system of medieval fortifications included fortified settlements (royal courts, high-walled monasteries, as well as fortresses of strategic importance) for defense purposes, fortified with stone walls, earthworks or having deep ditches.

The fortress was built at the end of the 14th century by Petru I Musat, it was fortified in the 15th century by Ștefan cel Mare and destroyed in the 17th century (1675) by Dumitrașcu Cantacuzino. Currently, the Suceava Citadel is in ruins.
