Bran Castle, often referred to as Dracula's Castle, is a medieval fortress located near Bran, Romania, perched on a rocky hilltop with breathtaking views of the surrounding Carpathian Mountains. Built in the 14th century as a strategic defense point against Ottoman invasions, the castle is one of Romania’s most famous landmarks due to its dramatic architecture and legendary association with Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș), the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Key Features:
Gothic Architecture – A striking medieval fortress with stone towers, hidden passageways, and narrow staircases.
Dracula Mythology – Although Vlad the Impaler may never have lived here, the castle’s eerie, imposing presence and remote location have fueled its connection to Bram Stoker’s novel.
Today, Bran Castle is a major tourist attraction, drawing those fascinated by its gothic allure, vampire legends, and deep historical significance.
