______________________________
Bran Castle situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Brasov, Romania, is a national monument and landmark. The is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, on Highway 73. Commonly known as "Dracula's Castle" it is famous as the home of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which has led to persistent myths that it was once the home of fortress Vlad Tepes , ruler of Wallachia. While Vlad Ţepeş did not actually live in the Bran Castle, it is believed he spent two days locked in the dungeon while the Ottomans controlled Transylvania. The castle is now a museum open to tourists, displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can see the interior individually or by a guided tour. At the bottom of the hill is a small open air museum park exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures (cottages, barns, etc.) from across the country.

"Dracula's Castle"

Bram Stoker, who fashioned portions of his character Count Dracula from Vlad the Impaler, allegedly used Bran Castle as his model for Dracula's Castle. Bran Castle was subsequently featured in multiple film adaptations of "Dracula," and has informally become known as "Dracula's Castle." The local economy has made use of the connection to boost tourism; a small market exists at the castle gates selling souvenirs related to Dracula and vampires.
