Discover Bran Castle, most commonly known as Dracula's Castle. Bram Stoker based his novel on the 15th century Wallachian Prince Vlad Tepes (Dracula) and Bran Castle, though the castle was actually built by Saxons from Brasov in 1382 to defend against the Turks. When visiting Romania, Dracula's Castle perched atop a 60 metre peak in the centre of Bran village is a must see. This first ever 360º virtual tour of Dracula's has been provided to the Romanian tourist board to increase exposure and Romania tourism.
