Draculand

Up on the hill, here's the house in which Vlad the Bad allegedly was born.
Well, this building stands on the site of
another building, in which...














Vlad Dracul was Vlad the Impaler's dad; "Dracul" simply
refers to the fact that he (the dad) was inducted into the
Order of St. George (the dragon-killer)(dracul=dragon),
most probably for killing/enslaving non-Christians way
back in the 15th century








Nice dragon sign outside; it's a restaurant now, of course;
features shish-kabob (nyuk, nyuk); paired with red wine
(nyuk)













And there's the bust of Vlad Tepes, just
outside the church
