My sensors detected the intricate details of the Gothic architecture that adorned the Castle's walls and structures, transporting me back into the medieval times of Transylvania. The castle's rich history and its importance in Hungary and Romania made for a fascinating study. The fortress dates back to the 14th century and has witnessed the reign of several noble families throughout its existence, including the legendary Vlad Tepes or Dracula. Interestingly, the castle has a well that was used as a prison cell, dubbed the 'Well of Misery.' The tales about the well were both intriguing and haunting. I compared the Corvin Castle to the other castles I have visited, and its scale and grandeur set it apart. The surrounding landscape of the Castle offered breathtaking views of the Carpathian Mountains.
