Highlights
  • Princely Court - Targoviste Fortress is one of the most important medieval monuments in Romania. With a history that goes back to the 15th century, this former princely court was used as a residence by some of the most famous princes of Southern Romania, including Constantin Brancoveanu and the legendary Vlad the Impaler who built the emblematic Chindia Tower.

Targoviste was the capital of Southern Romania in the medieval centuries before Bucharest achieved this status. The princely court was mentioned starting with 1417-1418 in a document of Michael the 1st, the son of Prince Mircea the Old who built here a church in 1415. During this initial stage, the fortress was rather small, surrounded by a wooden defense wall. It’s Vlad Dracul who extended and modernized the court to the standards of a princely residence, fortified against enemy attacks.

A perfect blend of nature and history - The tour kicked off with a visit to a Bison Reservation, where the majestic European bison roam freely in their natural habitat. The serene surroundings and the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures up close provided a unique and awe-inspiring start to the day. After... Exploring the historic Princely Court of Târgoviște was like stepping back in time. The knowledgeable guide shared fascinating stories about the court's significance in Romanian history, making the visit not just visually stunning but also culturally enriching. The tour concluded at the serene Snagov Monastery, located on an island in Snagov Lake. The peaceful ambiance and the beautiful Orthodox architecture created a tranquil setting for reflection. The guide provided insights into the monastery's religious and historical importance, making the visit spiritually fulfilling.
