There is a castle of Vlad Tepes but not in Transylvania, in Wallachia (where Vlad ruled).

These are some fortresses and palaces from Transylvania photographed by me:

Trascau / Torockóvár castle in Coltesti, Alba county (near Aiud). It was built in 13th century

Miko castle in Miercurea Ciuc / Csikszereda. It houses he Museum of Székely people (Hungarians from Eastern Transylvania). Unfortunately, for political reasons after 1990 the museums from Székely region are not housing anymore artifacts from period before the Hungarian conquest of Transylvania or of the Romanian inhabitants of these lands.

Prejmer is the biggest Saxon peasant fortress in Transylvania, among the ~150 such ensambles that still exist (from ~300 in the past). Together with other six peasant fortresses is on the Unesco World Heritage list.

The church was built in 13th century in Cistercian style. The fortress was errected in 15-16th centuries and has 275 rooms, each being used by one family as a place to live during the attacks or as a storage room for smoked meat in peace time.

Tropaeum Traiani is a monument in Roman Civitas Tropaensium (site of modern Adamclisi, Romania), built in 109 in then Moesia Inferior, to commemorate Roman Emperor Trajan's victory over the Dacians, in 102, in the Battle of Tapae. The monument was erected on the place where legio XXI Rapax had previously been crushed (92 AD). Before Trajan's construction, an altar existed there, on the walls of which were inscribed the names of 3,000 legionaries and auxilia (servicemen) who had died "fighting for the Republic".

Trajan's monument was inspired by the Augustus mausoleum, and was dedicated to the god Mars Ultor in 107/108 AD. On the monument there were 54 metopes depicting Roman legions fighting against enemies; most of these metopes are preserved in the museum nearby. The monument was supposed to be a warning to the tribes outside this newly conquered province.

The original monument has long since disintegrated. The present edifice is a reconstruction dating from 1977. The nearby museum contains many archaeological objects, including parts of the original Roman monument. Of the original 54 metopes, 48 are in the museum and 1 is in Istanbul.

Romania is just amazing!

I am, personaly, huuuuge fan of His Lordship Vlad Cepes ( AKA Dracul)
The way how Wallachians threated their enemies and preserved their freedom is just perfect. ( even though they buried our medieval pussies like: 1395 Battle of Rovine. Stefan Lazarevic, Marko Kraljevic, Konstantin Dejanovic and Ottomans fight against the Wallachians. The Ottomans lose and Marko and Konstantin are killed. Citation from http://www.humanitas-international.o...e/timeline.htm
My wife is very religious and her idea is to go for a 7-10 days to visit several monastery in Romania ( she is looking to visit St Petka moshti as an obligatory event. By her opinion, Romanians remained as a purest Christian there are, today) . If I show her this thread, she will push me to go tomorrow...
