Targoviste
Visit the capital of Valacchia, Targoviste, known for its main princely residence of the famous Vlad The Impaler. The first fortification walls were built by Vlad’s grandfather, that is, by the great leader, Mircea the Oldest, who was Prince of Valacchia between the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century, an important figure in Romania’s history. On the contrary, Vlad Dracula built the famous Chindia Tower during the 15th century , which stands out from the courtyard, imposing and beautiful, because it is perfectly preserved.
1 hourCurtea de Arges
We will then go to Curtea de Arges, where it is located one of the most beautiful monasteries in the South of Romania, a place of Orthodox worship where the Romanian reigns are buried and its oriental decoration and its four towers enchant the visitor.
1 hourSibiu
Day 2: Day 2: Sibiu - Hunedoara - Alba Iulia
3 hoursCastelul Corvinilor
The castle is located near the cities of Deva and Hunedoara, within the historic region of Transylvania, in its south western side, belonging to the county of Hunedoara. Its foundation was laid out by John Hunyadi (Iancu de Hunedoara) in a Gothic architectural style which encompasses Renaissance elements. It is viewed as the most imposing and resplendent castle in Transylvania. John Hunyadi reinforced the monument to make it safer and stronger in the event of an attack or battle, however he also transformed it visually, modifying the decorative elements of the halls and guest rooms and the towers. The castle features towers which are tall and mighty, ideal for defensive tactics and strategies, inner yards and a drawbridge. The wall is double to prevent any possible damage during or in the event of an attack. Corvin's Castle is an impressive tourist attraction, abundant in historic relevance and architectural pulchritude and it would be a pity to visit its sites and not delve into its mysteries, legends and offerings. Visit each room of the castle and analyse the outer and inner decorative elements and fortifications. A stunning castle of Transylvania and the most amazing Gothic-style castle of Romania.
