- Corvin Castle 1446, also known as Hunyadi Castle or Hunedoara Castle , is a Gothic-Renaissance castle in Hunedoara, Romania. It is one of the largest castles in Europe and figures in a list of the Seven Wonders of Romania. This it was the place where Vlad the Impaler, Prince of Wallachia, was held prisoner by John Hunyadi, Hungary`s military leader and regent during the King`s minority. The Hunedoara Castle is mentioned as a source of inspiration for Castle Dracula in Bram Stoker`s 1897 horror novel Dracula. In the castle yard, near the 15th-century chapel, there is a well 30 meters deep. According to the legend, this fountain was dug by 3 Turkish prisoners to whom liberty was promised if they reached water. After 15 years they completed the well, but their captors did not keep their promise. It is said that the inscription on a wall of the well means `you have water, but not soul`. Specialists, however, have translated the inscription as `he who wrote this inscription is Hasan, who lives as slave of the giaours, in the fortress near the church`.
