Castle Corvin, Hunedoara Romania *also not Draculas Castle which is barely a ruin now
Castle Corvin (also known as Corvin Castle or Hunyad Castle) is a Gothic-Renaissance castle located in the city of Hunedoara, in Transylvania, Romania. The castle is considered to be one of the most important and impressive castles in Europe, and it is often referred to as the "Dracula Castle", although it has no connection to the legend of Dracula.
The castle was built in the 14th century by John Hunyadi, a Romanian nobleman and military leader, and it was later expanded and renovated in the 15th and 16th centuries. The castle is known for its striking architecture, which combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. The castle has several towers, a drawbridge, and an inner courtyard, and it is surrounded by a moat.
During its history, the castle served as a fortification, a royal residence, and a prison. It was also the site of several battles and sieges. The castle was used as a prison until the 18th century, after which it fell into disrepair. The castle was then used as a source of building materials, and many of its stones were taken to construct other buildings.
In the 20th century, the Romanian government began to restore the castle, and today it is open to the public as a museum. Visitors can tour the castle's various rooms, which include a great hall, a chapel, a prison, and a torture chamber, among other things.
Many part of Castle was used as a film set for several movies like The Last Crusade of Indiana Jones, Van Helsing, and many more.
It's a popular tourist destination and a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Transylvania. It offers a unique glimpse into the history of the region and its people.
