Seeing it firsthand reveals why this castle is a symbol of Romanian tourism and the most visited attraction in Romania.
Known outside Transylvania as Dracula’s Castle, it is often linked to the titular character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. However, there is no evidence Stoker knew of this castle, which has only minor connections to Vlad the Impaler, the voivode of Wallachia, who is thought to have inspired Dracula. Stoker’s description of Dracula’s fictional castle does not resemble Bran Castle.
Today, the castle is a museum showcasing art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
- Snagov Monastery - Vlad Tepes earned his vampire reputation due to his brutal method of punishing traitors, thieves, and enemies – impalement.
Little is known about the death of Dracula/Vlad Tepes, but popular theories suggest he was killed in battle against the Turks or murdered by Wallachian boyars in a revenge plot.
This has led to numerous stories and myths about Dracula’s burial site, supposedly by monks who admired his bravery and patriotism, risking their lives to recover his body.
Most historians with access to the monastery’s records believe “Dracula’s” final resting place is at Snagov Monastery – an Orthodox place of worship on an island of the same name, surrounded by beautiful scenery near Bucharest.
- Princely Court - Targoviste Fortress is among Romania’s most significant medieval monuments. Dating back to the 15th century, this former princely court served as a residence for some of Southern Romania’s most renowned princes, including Constantin Brancoveanu and the legendary Vlad the Impaler, who constructed the iconic Chindia Tower.
Targoviste was the capital of Southern Romania during medieval times before Bucharest took on this role. The princely court was first mentioned in 1417-1418 in a document by Michael the 1st, son of Prince Mircea the Old, who built a church here in 1415. Initially, the fortress was small, encircled by a wooden defense wall. Vlad Dracul expanded and modernized the court to meet the standards of a princely residence, fortified against enemy attacks.
