- Cover photo description:
- Bran Castle Romanian: Castelul Bran; German: Törzburg; Hungarian: Törcsvár, situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Braşov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, on DN73. Commonly known as `Dracula`s Castle` although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poenari Castle and Hunyad Castle, it is the home of the title character in Bram Stoker`s Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad III, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. As discovered by the Dutch author Hans Corneel de Roos,[1] the location Bram Stoker actually had in mind for Castle Dracula while writing his novel was an empty mountain top, Mount Izvorul Călimanului, 2,033 metres 6,670 ft high, located in the Transylvanian Călimani Alps near the former border with Moldavia.
