Bran
 
Bran was the second stop on our weekend trip. It is not the home of Dracula, as Bram Stoker's novel suggests, but does have a castle built by the people of Bran to protect against a Turkish invasion.
 

   


We arrive!
The castle from a distance
Up close
Even closer
A view from one of the lookout positions
The view of the city wall, from inside the castle
Isn't this castle amazing?
A view from inside
Looking down into the courtyard
Make a wish!
See the lookout town on the bottom right? That wood rotates so you can see out.
Open air markets outside the castle
