Journey to Romania: Dracula's Castle Bran

Gloomy and impregnable Dracula's castle in Romania Bran is located on the edge of a gorge. It is the best suited for the habitat of a bloodthirsty vampire. Hundreds of tourists who have read Bram Stoker's novel are trying to get to Romania to visit Count Dracula.

But in fact, Bran Castle was built in 1382 by the inhabitants of the city of Brasov to protect against attacks by nomadic tribes, and has nothing to do with Prince Tepes, the prototype of the famous vampire.

In 1992, film director Francis Ford Coppola completely restored the castle for the filming of Dracula. Today, the castle houses a museum with collections of furniture, hunting trophies and weapons.

All tourists who come to Romania know about the real origin of the castle. Dracula's castle in Romania has its own unique Gothic silhouette and a mysterious labyrinth of corridors, and serpentines of ancient stairs, and underground passages leading to the courtyard where the fountain is located - everything is filled with the twilight of medieval secrets. Exceptional architecture, stunning location and the legend, filmed by Francis Coppola, put Bran Castle in the top ten scariest places on the planet.

Only in such a castle could someone who is not talked about after sunset could settle.
