Medieval Transylvania: Brasov, Bran Castle, Rasnov Peasant Citadel
|
|
|
Explore the ancient cities, looming fortresses, and picturesque countryside of Transylvania
| Attractions and things to do - Medieval Transylvania: Brasov, Bran Castle, Rasnov Peasant Citadel | |
|
No place in Romania has retained its medieval identity like Transylvania, and there is an eerie enchantment that covers the region like a shroud. Wind your way through the cobbled streets of Brasov and learn about the Saxon people that founded the city more than 700 years ago. Visit the Bran Castle, whose striking hilltop appearance formed the basis for the myth of Dracula, and later became the summer retreat of a queen. Finish your tour with a trip to Rasnov, site of the largest Peasant Citadel ever constructed in Eastern Europe. Its perched location and impenetrable fortifications bespeak a bygone history of foreign invasions.
