3. Hunyad Castle
Hunyad Castle is located deep within Transylvania and is believed to be the place where Vlad the Implaer was secluded for seven years after his deposition. Vlad the Impaler was the inspiration for the fictional character Dracula, which is why Transylvania is often associated with Halloween and all things spooky. The castle is also called Corvin Castle, and is constructed in Gothic Renaissance style. There are tall, strong defense towers around the castle, along with a drawbridge and inner courtyard. The castle underwent renovations in the 17th century for aesthetic and military purposes. A new large palace was built to face the town, which still makes the structure visually appealing.
