A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Castles stand as some of the most significant national monuments in Romania, with several being so widely recognized that their reputation transcends borders. These, primarily associated with the infamous region of Transylvania and the tales of Count Dracula, represent just a fraction of the historical edifices within the country.
Transylvania has long been recognized as a destination filled with vampires, werewolves, and the restless souls of the dead lurking in its shadowy forests and eerie fortresses. Most notably associated with Vlad the Impaler, the real-life figure who inspired Dracula, its dark history encompasses brutal punishments for intruders and disobedient citizens. Vlad Tepes earned his notorious nickname from his gruesome practice of impaling enemies. Consequently, many of the region’s haunted places attract tourists eager to explore their eerie legends.
