Castles Palaces in Romania

Among all the castles of Romania or Transylvania, Bran Castle (Castelul Bran), also called Dracula Castle, is probably the most famous. Because this old and very well preserved castle is said to have served as the inspiration (template) of the world famous novel Dracula. Prince Vlad III called the Impaler, who is said to have served as the model of the fictional novel character Dracula for the writer, is said to have lived in the castle.

I also recommend the Rasnov Citadel, the Brasov Citadel, Malaiesti Castle, Huniade Castle, Fagaras Castle, Deva Citadel, Catacuzino Castle. A must is also a visit to the city of Sighisoara, in the center of which are numerous old towers of the former fortifications.The largest palace in Romania, the Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului) is located in the capital Bucharest and dates back to the Ceausescu era, who could not live to see the palace finished.
