Castles and Palaces of Romania
10 days tour
Romania is strewn with ruins of castles, rubble from the centuries
of its existence. Castles are tangible relicts of a remarkable past,
a lengthy heritage etched in stone, as well as with the blood and
sweat of those who built, labored, fought, and died in their shadow.
Ruins stir up in us a profound awareness of those past lives.
Castles have a timelessness that is awe-inspiring. That they have
endured centuries of warfare and the effects of weather is a
testimony to the creativity and power of their medieval owners.
