Tourist attractions, travel destinations and excursion destinations: Castles, fortresses


Some of the most impressive castles and fortresses in Europe are located in Romania, each with its own history and charm. Among the most famous castles are Peles Castle in Sinaia, known for its spectacular architecture, and Bran Castle in Brasov County, known worldwide as the “Dracula” castle. In Cluj County, Banffy Castle in Bontida impresses with its Gothic charm, while Corvin Castle and Fagaras Citadel stand out with their massive fortifications. A multitude of historical, fairytale-like places, such as Cantacuzino Castle in Busteni (the film location of the “Nevermore Academy” in the Netflix series “Wednesday”), the imposing Deva Fortress high up on the city’s local mountain and so much more, invite visitors to make unforgettable memories.
