History in Romania

An abandoned pasta factory in the centre of Bucharest, once home to Bulgarian revolutionaries and a hub of crime.

Home of the first female Hungarian poet, where her secret writing lay hidden for over a century.

Nine centuries-old fortresses guard the walls of this medieval Romanian city.

A fire once nearly devoured this gorgeous 14th-century Gothic cathedral.

This elaborately decorated, fairytale-like Romanian royal palace is one of the most striking castles in Europe.

The bust of Romania’s most notorious ruler, Vlad Dracula aka "Vlad the Impaler," keeps watch over the ruins of his medieval court.

This solitary monastery may hold the remains of Vlad the Impaler (but probably not).
