Built around the time of Vlad the Impaler’s grandfather, Mircea the Old, the monastery has become famous as the burial place of the king of Walachia who would become the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There are many gaps to fill when it comes to the life of Vlad the Impaler. While his life have been exploited and his heroic battles against the Turks highly praised, little is known about the last hours of his legendary life.
