http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com No, Dracula was not here, or at least not visible when we visited. Bran Castle is located not far from Brasov and is associated with the Dracula myth thanks to its imposing towers and turrets. Even though there is no evidence that Vlad The Impaler ever visited Transylvania, it was easy to see why writer Bram Stoker imagined Bran Castle as Dracula's imposing home. Bran Castle was first documented in 1377 when the Saxons of Brasov were given permission to build this imposing Citadel. From 1920 to 1957, Bran was the royal residence of Queen Marie of Romania and the castle is now a museum. Guide Cristian began our tour through the formidable castle.
