Bran Castle in Romania

Situated near Bran and Braşov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia.
Commonly known as "Dracula's Castle" (although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poenari Castle and Hunyad Castle).
The castle is now a museum open to tourists, displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. At the bottom of the hill is a small open air museum park exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures (cottages, barns, etc.) from across the country.
