Medieval and Modern Romania on Prahova Valley
The resemblance of the mountain Horeb, Sinai peninsula, with the mountain in this part of Romania, stroke out the prince Michael Cantacuzino, during his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, so he called the monastery he built here after his return, Sinaia.
At the end of the 19th century, another prince, future king of Romania, Carol I, enchanted by the beauty of the surroundings built here Peles Castle, his summer residence.
The castle is one of the nicest in Europe. Built between 1875-1883, mainly in German Renaissance style, the castle has 106 rooms, decorated with fine ornaments of inlaid wood,
Murano and Venetian chandeliers and mirrors, a rich collection of arms and weapon, more than 800 stained glass windows and an original heating and cleaning system. In the park surrounding the big castle, there are the Castle Foisor, the Hunting Castle and Queen Maria favourite castle "Pelisor".
Through a short cut we arrive at Bran, where the waters hollowed their way in the rock stands Bran Castle, where Vlad the Impaler, Dracula spent some frightful times, on his way to Transylvania.
Originally built by master masons of Brasov as a fortress, according to the privilege granted to the town on November 19th, 1377, by Louis I d'Anjou, who was ruling of Transylvania at that time. On 1920, the fortress was donated to the royal family and became its summer residence.
Arranged by Queen Maria into a most romantic castles: the old garret became the fourth floor, the old cylindrical tower with defence gallery became an apartment, Gothic stone arches framed the entrance doors, stairs and boarded floors were rebuilt.
In the afternoon, we will visit the city of Brasov, one of the seventh Saxon citadels of Transylvania, Kronestadt the largest town of Transylvania, in the Middle Age. Driving through the main roads, you'll discover its beauty and picturesque: the combination between new and old, blacken stone buildings and red bricks chimneys above the coloured tile roofs.
Old fortification ruins of the former burg, the narrow and tortuous streets, the old baroque houses with their bulky arched gates, still, keeps in the downtown the medieval patina. The Black Church (14th - 15th centuries), the largest construction in Gothic style from Romania, has very important collection of Turkish carpets and one of the largest organ in Europe.
