WallachiaDracula`s Castle is located in the eastern side of Europe, in Romania. It is placed in the middle of the Carpathians Mountains, on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, two of the three historical regions composing Romania.
The legend of the vampire was and still is deeply rooted in Romania. There have always been vampire-like creatures in the mythologies of many cultures. However, the vampire, as he became known in Europe and hence America, largely originated in the lands of eastern Europe.

In Antiquity Moldova's territory was inhabited by Dacian tribes. Between the 1st and 7th centuries AD, the south was intermittently under the Roman, then Byzantine Empires. Due to its strategic location on a route between Asia and Europe, Moldova was repeatedly invaded, including by the Bastarns, Sarmatians, Goths, Huns, Avars, Magyars, Kievan Rus', Pechenegs, Cumans, and the Mongols.
