Description
You are invited to visit Transylvania, where gold and red fall leaf colors decorate the beautiful Romanian landscapes. This is such a beautiful driveway to come home to in the autumn! This was not the home of Dracula, just a nice suburban house. Someone asked about the Legend of Dracula; it was a fictional story. Bram Stoker's classic vampire character Dracula was named after the 15th century Romanian prince Vlad Dracul III, who earned his place in history by impaling his enemies alive. By most accounts, Vlad III was born in 1431 in what is now Transylvania, the central region of modern-day Romania. However, the link between Vlad the Impaler and Transylvania is tenuous, according to Florin Curta, a professor of medieval history and archaeology at the University of Florida.
