Description
Explore Romania's history and beauty with visits to Peles Royal Castle, Sinaia Monastery, The Black Chruch and Bran Castle.
The rich medieval heritage of the country is best illustrated by Romania’s fortresses and castles. While castles built
from the 14th to the 18th century are strong and austere, intended mainly for military purposes, those erected in the late 1800’s display an imposing and luxurious architecture. The most popular examples are the 19th century Peleş Castle, Royal Family summer residence, with its 160 rooms filled with priceless European art collections and, of course, Bran Castle, built at the middle of the 13th century and legendary home of Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula. The Black Church, an impressive cathedral of Braşov, a medieval city in South- Eastern Transylvania, was built by the German community of the city and stands as the main Gothic style monument in the country, as well as being the largest and one of the most important Lutheran (Evangelical Church of Augustan Confession in Romania) places of worship in the region.
