Photos of Romania

Bran Castle, a national monument and landmark in Transylvania. This region in central Romania was featured in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, even though the castle itself was not and has no connection to the Dracula legend, despite its popularity with tourists. Originally constructed to protect German colonists in the region, Bran Castle later became a royal residence in the Kingdom of Romania and was a favorite home of Queen Marie (1875-1938) and her daughter, Princess Ileana, who ran a hospital there in World War II. The castle is now the country’s first private museum, displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
