Welcome to the place where I was born, Romania,the former kingdom of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula's

real-life persona)!

Direct descendants of Roman legionnaires who

settled here more than 2000 years ago, Romanians

will welcome you with bread, salt and wine.

Mysterious castles and secluded monasteries are

part of Romania's breathtaking Carpathian

Mountains landscape.

Vlad is known in Romanian history as Vlad Tepes,

that is, Vlad the Impaler, for his penchant for

impaling invaders, criminals, and personal enemies

alike. Although some of his victims appear to havebeen German colonists who built Bran Castle at the

end of the 14th century, historians have cautioned

that there is little or no connection at all between

Vlad the Impaler and Bran Castle.

Dacians are a branch of Thracians that inhabitanted Dacia (corresponding to

modern Romania and Moldova) and parts of Moesia (mostly in northern

Bulgaria in southeastern Europe). The Dacian kingdom reached its maximum

expansion during King Burebista . The region came under the scrutiny of Rome

when the Roman province, bordering along the Danube, Moesia, was attacked

by the Dacians in 87 AD during Emperor Domitian's reign. The Dacians were

eventually defeated by the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan in two

campaigns stretching from 101 AD to 106 AD and the core of their kingdom

was turned into the Roman province of Dacia..
