Corvin Castle, Romania 🇷🇴

Corvin Castle is one of the largest and most impressive medieval castles in Romania. Located in the city of Hunedoara, it is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Eastern Europe.

The castle was mainly built in the 15th century by John Hunyadi, a powerful nobleman who played a major role in defending Central Europe against Ottoman expansion. It served as both a fortified stronghold and an elegant noble residence.

Corvin Castle is famous for its soaring towers, drawbridge, knight’s hall, and impressive defensive walls. One of its most popular legends involves Vlad the Impaler, who is said to have been imprisoned there, although historical evidence for this remains uncertain.

“I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end. But I do not talk of the beginning or the end. There was never any more inception than there is now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now, And will never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. Urge and urge and urge, Always the procreant urge of the world…”

~Walt Whitman, from “Song of Myself”
