PMR020K-01 Romania, Transylvania: Bran Castle, associated with the Count Dracula stories of Bram Stoker, perhaps based on the historical figure of Vlad Tepes ("Vlad the Impaler"), although the latter did not live in Transylvania and may never have visited it. The castle was built shortly after 1377 to protect trade routes and levy tolls. View from an adjacent hill to the south.
