Bran Castle is famous around the world because it sits at the crossroads of history and legend. While the fortress itself is a real medieval castle, the stories surrounding it blend the life of a historical ruler with the famous vampire from literature.
Vlad III, often called Vlad the Impaler, was a 15th-century ruler of Wallachia in present-day Romania. He became known for his strict rule and harsh punishments used against enemies and criminals.
The famous vampire Count Dracula was created by Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel Dracula. While the character is fictional, the name and reputation of Vlad the Impaler helped inspire the legend.
