    Corvin Castle

    HunedoaraRomania1446

    Imposingly situated over the Zlaști River in Hunedoara, Corvin Castle (also known as Hunyadi Castle or Castelul Corvinilor) is one of the largest and most magnificent Gothic-Renaissance fortresses in Europe. Commissioned in the mid-fifteenth century by Voivode John Hunyadi (Iancu de Hunedoara), the castle features soaring defensive towers, drawbridges, and dark subterranean dungeons. Famous for housing Vlad III Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) during his seven-year imprisonment, Corvin Castle harbors gruesome legends of Turkish prisoners, tragic betrayals, and persistent hauntings that make it one of Romania's most active paranormal hotspots.

    Poenari Citadel

    ArefuRomania13th / 15th Century

    Perched on a dramatic cliff eight hundred meters above the Argeș River gorge along the famous Transfăgărășan Highway, Poenari Citadel (Cetatea Poenari) is the authentic mountain fortress of Vlad III Tepes (Vlad the Impaler). Originally constructed in the thirteenth century by early Wallachian rulers, the cliffside fortress was heavily fortified in the mid-fifteenth century by Vlad the Impaler, who forced rebellious boyars to build its thick stone walls. Famous for the tragic 1462 Ottoman siege where Vlad's wife leaped to her death from the castle battlements into the river below, the mountain ruins are renowned for phantom apparitions, red mist, and haunting voices echoing over the steep abyss.
