Chindiei Tower (Sunset Tower)

Turnul Chindiei, Târgoviște, România. Chindia Tower, Vlad III (Known as The Impaler - Dracula).

The Chindia Tower is a fortification in the Curtea Domnească monuments in Targoviste, Romania. It was built in the 15th century, during Vlad Tepes’s reign, over the porch of the Chapel-Church raised by Mircea cel Batran.
It initially had a military purpose, but during history it has been used as a guard point, a fire spotter and for storing and protecting the state treasury.
The tower is 27 m tall and it is constituted of a truncated pyramid shaped base of stone, from which rises a cylindrical structure made of bricks whose diameter measures 9 m. Known as the city’s symbol, the Chindia Tower is the most important tourist attraction in Targoviste.
There are two theories on the origin of the name: the first one argues that the area was the site of many large feasts and festivals, known in Romania as chindia. The second theory was that the name originates from the word chindia, an archaism which means “sunset”. Neither of this hypotheses is fully recognized.
The construction has 3 floors, from which the last two are labeled on the outside by broken arch openings and by balconies supported by stone consoles. Inside the tower, there is an inner spiral shaped staircase situated on the vertical axis of the building.
The interior is divided into three levels separated by wooden floors and the climbing is made on a spiral staircase (122 steps).

Gabriela Travels - TÂRGOVIȘTE (Turnul Chindiei, Curtea Domneasca, Gradina Zoologica) (2018)

It's summer time, so that means more trips and more places to be discovered in my country.

Yet I had the pleasure to spend a day in Targoviste with my sister and a good friend of us while exploring The Royal Courtyard, The Sunset Tower but to also have some fun while visiting the little friends from Zoo.

Today I've tried some new effects for the video and also gave my best to make it look as great as possible, so feel free to leave your opinion and I will surely take it in consideration. :)

Enjoy!
