Târgoviște Old Princely Court - the real residence of Vlad the Impaler, Dracula in Romania
Book online the Real Dracula Tour and visit Vlad's former residence in Wallachia, Târgoviște Old Princely Court:
If you visit Romania in search of Dracula and the places that are related to this legend, you need to look for the life of Vlad the Impaler. He was a cruel ruler of Wallachia that inspired Bram Stocker to create the character of Count Dracula. Thus, one of the places you need to see while in Romania is Târgoviște Princely Court where Vlad the Impaler, Dracula used to live and rule during medieval times for 7 years long.
The Royal Court (Curtea Domnească) had been constantly extended, being surrounded by stone walls and a moat. Now it is in ruins with only parts of the walls still intact. Next to the palace you can find Chindiei watch tower (now a symbol of the city) and a church which, in contrast with the rest of the residence, is still completely intact. Climb up in the tower and enjoy the panoramic view over the ruins of Târgoviște Court and the whole city.
If you want to visit the real places connected to Vlad the Impaler, Dracula, The Old Court of Târgoviște is definitely a place where you should go. You can reach the city by train or regular buses from Bucharest, or you can take small group day tours from Bucharest that include the visit here.

Chindia Tower at Targoviste Vlad Dracula's Princely court
This tower was built sometime between 1456-1462 in the duration of Vlad Dracula's second rule as Prince of Wallachia. The courts here were said to have been where Vlad impaled 500 boyars. This information was lurid entertainment in the German pamphlets. All who understand the pamphlets, were made only to legitimize the arrest of Vlad to the papal legate by Mathias Corvinus. There was a maximum of 12 boyars on Vlad's Council (Sfatul Domnesc). Over the course of Vlad's Reign there were slight changes to this council. Then many who had been on the coucil in 1462 reapear in Vlad's council in 1476.
Targoviste Princely Court of Vlad Dracula
In 2009 they were renovating this court and so now in 2012 when we returned, it was almost complete. There were some guides here talking with a group who stated his name was Vlad Tepes. The guide stated he knew his facts and I stated I had seen the documents themselves in which Vlad Tepes was not called this name in his lifetime. It was not until 1550 that the first document appeared with this name of Vlad Tepes. But in documents from 1476 in the last months of his life, he signed his name Vladislaus Dracula.

Vlad Dracula Statue at Targoviste
This statue is across from Targoviste Princely court. We ventured out one night and took some night pics of this statue. IN a document of 1550's states the first time Vlad Tepes was used. From this time on, Vlad was named Vlad Tepes. He was never in his life called this name. Stefan Cel Mare even wrote to Brasov and used the name Draculea as Vlad's name. Bring back the name of Draculea... it was his name first before Bram Stoker's novel.
