it's a very beautiful place..you would love it last year me and my friend spent hours just walking around the castle..then we sat on the roof and drank some red wine Poem about the castle Bran O, leave in the old chronicles our forefathers to rest; For they would gaze upon you with irony at best. Rise once more, o Tepes ! Take and divide these men. As lunatics and rogues in two big tribes, and then. In mighty, twin infirmaries by force both tribes intern, And with a single faggot prison and madhouse burn. (1881, May 1st, Mihai Eminescu) Translated by Corneliu M. Popescu As the starry night is falling The large gates are quickly closing The Bran Castle, proud, is shining Covered by a sunset burning. Tepes led a life of glory Commanding the territory Impaling the thieves and greedy, People who lived lawlessly. When Vlad Tepes was the king, The country was blossoming, All the thieves were terrified By the punishments applied. He fought away all the Turkish, Knowing well their cruel minds Bringing victory in battles, All the times! (author unknown)
