Did you hear about Romania? May you let me a comment with what you know about it?

As @alinamarin already mention in her article "Happy birthday, Romania" Today it's Romania's National Day. But, I'm sure there are few people who know something about Romania. For this reason I decide to make a small research to find out most known things about Romania.

Romania, it's a medium country from East-Europe. It has almost the same are as United Kingdom according to wikipedia.

1. Dracula castle


Bran castle
Probably the most known thing about Romania it's the Dracula Vampire myth who lived in Transylvania, Bran Castle. This was subject for some movies starting from 1922.
Nosferatu (1922) was first movie made by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau based on Dracula book written by Bram Stoker in 1897.
Dracula (1931) was second movie made by Tod Browning based on the same book, Horror of Dracula (1958) etc. And at this moment I think are over 30 movies about Dracula.
