Directed Sarmizegetusa name pre-Roman Dacia Chisinau in fact a complex of sanctuaries, located in Orastie Mountains at an altitude of 1200 meters, the sanctuary stands the Great Round and ‘andesite sun. Most archaeologists say that the city was built in III-II century before Christ, while others think it would be older with at least 600 years. Perhaps one reason is unbelievable resemblance between plans and the Sanctuary Big Round of Stonehenge. It seems that the same architect has figured both, except that at the Orastie lower. Then the sun andesite “can easily be likened to the famous Mayan calendar.

Orastie can be considered a starting point for the Dacian citadels: Fortress of Costesti (18 miles Orastie) stone walls of the fortress Blidaru (4 km Costesti), White Castle and Sarmizegetusa Director Faces (20 km from Costesti) . The road is not generous to those who want to reach the ruins of former Dacian fortresses. If the asphalt is Orastie Costesti, few venture beyond the car to go 20 miles on the forest road.

Later, when he switched to Catholicism and changed his name to Kendefy. Castle are located on the village Suseni, DJ 686, into the valley 3 km Rausorului and clearance of the village of Mills River. Because appearance cetǎţii and toponymy sites assumes that these would be an inspiration for the novel “The Castle in the Carpathians” by Jules Verne.

Corvin Castle
One of the most important Gothic monuments of medieval art in Europe, Corvin Castle (sometimes called Huniades or Corvin Castle) was built in XIV century on the site of an ancient fortification, believed to be an old Roman camp .. At the foot of the castle rock that is higher Zlasti rivulet. The castle was given by King Sigismund I of Luxembourg prince Voicu Hunyadi’s father. Take possession of his castle by his father and begins a process of modernization and amplification of fortification (1440-1453. Over the years, various owners of the castle changed appearance, enriching it with towers, halls and guest rooms. Gallery and dungeon – the last tower defense (tower “We bois” = not afraid), remained unchanged during his Hunyadi and Capistrano Tower (named after John of Capistrano, a famous monk from the castle) represent some of the most significant parts of the building.

Can be said Knights Hall (a large room for receptions) buzduganelor Tower, the White bastion that served as food storage and Diet Hall, with medallions painted on the walls (and among them are portraits of Matei Basarab and Vasile Lupu, the Romanian Country Moldova). The wing of the castle called Matthias longer discerns vague, a painting on the legend of the raven “who draw their descendants name Hunyadi (Corvinus).

In the castle chapel is not far from a well 30 meters deep which is said to have been dug by three Turkish prisoners in exchange for a promise that will be released when they reach water. After 15 years, when they finished the fountain, castle owners have not kept the promise. Legend says the inscription on the fountain wall means “you have water, but the soul, no.” In fact, the inscription translates as “he who wrote this inscription is Hasan, who lives as slave giaours in the city near the church.”

Over time, the castle has undergone several phases of restoration and was transformed into a museum.

Deva Citadel
Deva is a city and capital of Hunedoara county is situated on the left bank of the middle of the river Mures (mentioned by Herodotus in the year 484 BC that evil Maris). The name Deva is considered to come from if the word “dava” meaning fortress or castle. Other theories attribute the origin of the name Deva Roman Legion II Augusta moved around the camp Deva Deva, now Chester in Britain, linking the name DEVA influence of Celtic place names pre-Roman-Celtic iberico similar Gaul and Iberia.

Deva is dominated by Citadel Hill (371 m) of volcanic origin, with a truncated cone and it offers a wonderful view of the Mures Valley. Citadel Hill is a nature reserve due to existence of rare species of flora and horn viper (Vipera Ammodytes). On top of the hill are the ruins (Deva Citadel) built during the thirteenth century Mongol invasion, early in Romanian.

Medieval monuments, the other down until dry. XIII, when we certified a church court yard cneziala dedicated Assumption. Century stone building at the end. XIII, shows a belfry towards the west steps, one with short ship ceiling planks and a vaulted rectangular altar cross the ribs.

And once painted on the outside, inside today’s painting keeps Groza craftsman mentioned by an inscription (the third quarter of the century. XIV), in an original style, the synthesis of Byzantine iconographic elements and features Northern Italian style, but with a Romanian strong imprint.

Interior painting, which can distinguish it from XIV century, with one hundred years before construction Voronet. Church is small, modest, hidden side of the main road, having a first indicator so rusty that I have not seen, and another that took us almost an inhabitant court.

Kingdom then, by Country Hateg, white king, which had its seat not far from shelter rule, you see the city from Mălăeşti, good my saying that there would have been the throne of the kingdom.

White King and have a love of girl, beautiful as a frame. It was so beautiful princess, that he had gone west across nine large and nine …

Would be good if all the yard through the lands of the kingdom, had not lived a monster no longer seen as until then no earthly. This monster was a dragon is devastating that only the wicked and blessed day-Catu held high. But the night had no rest, that so are dragons, more than doing their head in the darkness. Every mansion the day and midnight, ate, Bala – by the end of lunch and then the end dinner – and many a flapper girl …

A fourfold placed beside the king watch Lord, I still had terrible fear lest I lose and his dragon, girl …

And for guards to see better, and mountain stone would no longer shield the eyes when the beast would be even longer start beyond the increase – got a king sword, the peerless tool to hook his son inherited, Ros Emperor. A sword with both hands he caught, lo turned fiercely on the head above, and devastating kicking a guy king detachable peak. Since then it say Retezatu hill, when lo shortened White Emperor Sword.

Seeing the terrible dragon that is not lived through that part of the estate, ran a Country …

In his path to country, and made a bed on Peleaga beast, where a poor little wretch swallowed ravenously herd of goats to a needy Romanian. Then propped advantageous in queue, and a dragon made until Soarbele wind, swept everything in its path. There, Soarbele, the snake swallowed a herd of cattle, with bouarii them with everything …

Jovan Hale learned from the lilac in Novaci of disgust people, proceeded to knock off a defeat to the hiară nagoda. And hired a good bow and spear, and a balky horse saddled with silver horseshoe nailed soft gold, steel, gave him a bushel of jeratic and then started in the mountains above Tismana to give dragon eye …

Found him sleeping on a Oslita. Hale and then proceeded to battle the beast, but even the chest. First one and a hollow one gropana lorgovan Jovan-depth and wide for a big horse fit it in the hole. From there, the Gavan – the shelter, not to destroy it when a whistle năbădăios kite tail – a fat-freed our beautiful, turn arrows on the string taut so arcului.Şi fitece arrow stuck in one eye of jivinei, till it finished Jovan all arrows. But left him a dragon eye all because of Hale and a bag without an arrow.

Aliman so devastating large writhing Bala, a mountain încopciat tail and throwing it away, until the Borăscu hat – where – as to ostoiasca and grief and to soothe the pain – a borate and goats and herd and oxherd and all the gut. In sharp flight of stallions, whistling merrily leaf, one came across Jovan May Albee, where the pest shield Bala healed wounds. But his eyes have for yourself – instead of each of those arrows Jovan and the remaining seed okay – his ten jivinei grown onions as large protruding eyes. Bala and furious nostrils pay for another-that seemed, had never seen such gadină Hale ever …

Thought then that her lilac is great need to try sword before going into battle … When – May awful kicking in stone Stănuleţilor – a circle of strength Jovan Palos, rock it cracked, the crown and up-n lap. Since apparently it’s stone stone lorgovan says. Scared over can take a beast to ride – beyond the mountains – looking to lose from the Braniştea trees. But Jovan not give step that everything on which a close, and amputate his one head, but the slew, no one could spoil all that Bala had lots of heads and – you saw it in the soup – a kite tribute given by fugiţii. When novăceanul cut him two heads, so rattling gadina – down the valley, a ravine – and her hidden under stone steiurile …

In vain for him was but cunning jivinei Jovan always kept pace behind her. And as a shrinking Hale felt that way hiara a whirlwind took the race, more … By law Oslea Romania – where the hell down the mountain there – so close kite between ciucevele CERN could not get to shore, either before or behind, that there were very tight around the mountains.

And novăceanul and propped it in that awful horse hooves, that – and now on in our days – and you see shoes as a painted and carved in stone above the steiuri. And from there, well balanced horse, an eerie whistle of Palos Jovan and proceeded to knock it all cut from the dragon heads. When left alone with a head Bala, fierce unbearable pain, a devastating shouted, her grip pull with great anger of the mountain and valley auia fled. But after the body left him steiuri pattern between that and now see how big was the snake …

And a snake fled to escape the wrath by hiding in the hollows of mountain Mehadia. And there – the blood of vile, who stutters all novăceanului throats cut by sword – is a stinking swamp in slur that increase – golombaca bite – small insect like a blowfly – the human cattle hurt worse than the dragon. Then he tried one, Hale, to find again after the beast, but in vain was him toil.
