Is Transylvania is a real region?
For most people, when they hear Transylvania they think of Dracula, vampires, werewolves, and other spooky landscapes.
Well, Transylvania is real! And by that I mean it’s a real place, with normal people in a non-spooky setup.
Transylvania is located in central Romania. It takes up 1/3 of the country’s land and around 7 million people live there.
Sighisoara is the only medieval city still inhabited in Romania and the largest of it’s kind in Europe. That’s why it’s part of UNESCO heritage.
The citadel is made on a hilltop, which gives it a great view and a special vibe.
It was built in the form you find it today more than 600 years ago. So it keeps it’s medieval charm with a very colorful touch, as the houses are painted in different colors.
