🏰 Where Shadows of History Still Stand – Târgoviște, Romania
#postandearn
📍 Târgoviște, Dâmbovița County, Muntenia Region, Southern Romania — about 80 km northwest of Bucharest
Târgoviște is a city where Romania’s layered past rises from fortress walls and watchtowers. Once the medieval capital of Wallachia, it holds echoes of rulers, revolts, and silent resilience — especially at the Chindia Tower, famously linked to Vlad the Impaler, the figure behind the Dracula legend.
Walking through the Royal Court ruins (Curtea Domnească), you’re met by worn stone paths, arched gates, and ancient Orthodox churches painted with time. But Târgoviște is not only about the past — it breathes with local rhythm, calm parks, and quiet streets that invite slow wandering.
🧭 Tips for Visitors:
• Visit Chindia Tower near golden hour for beautiful light and fewer crowds
• Ideal for history lovers, architectural explorers, and lovers of forgotten capitals
• Take time at the Dealu Monastery — serene views and deep silence
• Try local dishes like sarmale (stuffed cabbage) or cozonac (sweet bread)
• Easy day trip from Bucharest — but staying overnight lets you feel the stillness
