Re: Visit Romania!
Bran Castle was built by the Teutonic Knights in 1212 at the invite of the Hungarian King who wanted to ensure military control over the unruly Wallachian peasants who roamed the areas.Originally Posted by Scienter
Today it's a major touristic attraction and inside it houses a splendid Romanian Royal Family museum.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Visit Romania!
Lovely pics, beautiful places!
Also, slight mix-up, I believe. Scienter means the cupolas on the Cathedral of Curtea de Argeş. Bran Castle is the picture below that.
Re: Visit Romania!
Oh, I didn't notice that. The Curtea de Arges Cathedral is of obvious Byzantine style with Arabic/Moorish influence and was built in the late 16th century as the seat of the Orthodox Church.

On another topic, here's two traditional Romanian dances.
It's caled Calusul, and the dancers Calusari, which more or less means Horse Dancers.
And this is a typical Hora...
That's just a collection of pics, I'm trying to find a video with a real Hora dance.

Re: Visit Romania!
That soup looks incredible, never seen, or heard of, of using a bread as a bowl. Got to try that
