Transylvania

Transylvania, the homeland of the fictional Count Dracula, is a region located in north-central ROMANIA in Eastern Europe. As you probably know, Count Dracula appears on/in everything from cereal boxes (Count Chocula) to halloween costumes and is associated with Transylvania. The Romanian counties that are located within Transylvania include Alba, Bistriţa-Năsăud, Brașov, Cluj, Covasna, Harghita, Hunedoara, Mureș, and Sibiu. The largest cities in the region are Cluj-Napoca and Mureș. Other communities include Alba Iulia, Mediaș, Odorheiu Secuiesc, Reghin, Sibiu, Sighișoara, and Turda.

● The author of this GeoFact of the Day Blog creates and curates original, authentic content and posts information based on established facts. Blog posts are not generated by artificial intelligence (AI) but published by the author.

● Content and image graphics from other sources are properly credited. Many geography facts are well-established and therefore do not belong to any one source, but occasionally a fact requires attribution/credit if it is unique and hard-to-find — for example, facts found from specific cultural, anthropological, geological, and scientific (etc.) research.

● I do not copy and paste from other websites. Therefore, all posts are original but may sometimes include information, links, and/or images from credited external sources. To use a GeoFact of the Day Blog image for your website or project, write a comment below a post — then I may approve your request.
