In the days of the Tatar invasion, the Szeklers from Ciuc donned masks to resemble the devil, scaring them and thus defeating the invaders. The remembrance of these events is preserved at Vérkápolna - The Bloody Chapel and at Ördöglik - The Hole of the Devils.

The white trail on the sky, the Milky Way, known by the Szeklers as ”the Road of the Armies”, is the trail left by the prince Csaba’s horses when the Szeklers went to help him.

The lake preserves the memory of the twelve tortured girls. The lake formed following the curse thrown by Ana upon the Lord of the fortress.

The locals have been given this mountain for the help they gave to the ruler's widow when she moved from the area.

The Tartars chased the Szeklers to a cave and tried to starve them, but they made a kürtőskalács from straws. The Tatars, believing they could not starve them, abandoned their action.

The cellar of the fortress is full of treasures, but its door opens only once every seven years, being guarded by the magical power of the fairies.

St. Ladislau, king of Hungary, fought against the Cumans at Chiraleș. One of the Cumans kidnapped a beautiful girl, but the king followed him, and with the help of the girl, he killed the pagan. This scene is immortalized on the fresco of the Dârju church. In the bastions of the fortress, the locals store their food supplies.

The fortress was owned by someone named Sándur, who severely punished the sinners

In the times of the Turkish invasion, a handsome man, named Biró Gábor, lived in Sânmartin village. He was very proud of his long hair, but this proved to be his downfall, as his hair got tangled in thistles and he was defeated by enemies.
