Pictures from the end of May 2026 of the fortress complex in Targu Mures, Mures County, which dates back to the 17th century.

The fortress is well preserved / restored, surrounded all around by high defensive walls. It also includes a church, a beautiful park / lawns to relax on, and a café / restaurant. Admission to the fortress is free.

Unassuming, but definitely not to be missed! From the Fortress Square in Schässburg / Sighisoara, take the street on the left, uphill toward the Covered Stairway. It is the fourth or fifth building on the left, just before the five-star Hotel Fronius.

And why? Because here you will find traditions and stories from all over Romania: pottery from Horezu and Saschiz, colorful wooden houses from Sighisoara, artwork from Bucovina, and much more… everything is handmade and authentic!

This place is much more than a souvenir shop… it is a small museum of Romanian history. And if you happen to strike up a conversation with the owner, you can learn so much about Romania right here in Sighisoara 🥰

Hunedoara Castle (also known as Hunedoara Castle, in German Burg Eisenmarkt, in Romanian Castelul Corvinilor or Castelul Huniazilor, in Hungarian Vajdahunyadi var) is one of the most important non-ecclesiastical buildings in Transylvania.

The rock castle was built on the remains of a 14th century fortification and is located in the south-western part of the town of Hunedoara (German name: Eisenmarkt) in western Romania.

The listed castle has many other names (Corvinilor Castle, Castle of the Corvinians, Corvinus Castle, Corvinesti Castle, Corvin Castle, Iron Market Castle, Black Castle, Vajdahunyad Castle, Hunyadi Castle), which can be traced back to its location or its owners.

After 1440, the Hungarian statesman and military commander Johann Hunyadi had an existing fortification converted into the ancestral castle of the Hunyadis. In the second construction phase, the castle was extended from 1458 under King Matthias Corvinus. At the beginning of the 17th century, Prince Gábor Bethlen carried out further major alterations to the building. Today’s castle therefore features a mixture of different architectural styles.

The castle was in Austrian hands from 1724 and has been Romanian state property since 1918. As well as being an attraction for tourists, the castle is (and has been) used as a backdrop for a number of Romanian and international film productions. The castle now houses a museum.

Seen and photographed by chance. Despite having seen hundreds of storks in Romania, we had never really thought about how a stork drinks 🤔

The beak is long, and the neck is too, and when you look at the pictures in sequence… phew, we’re glad we can enjoy our drink simply from a glass or a bottle 😅

Pictures from May 13, 2026, of the newly renovated Old Casino, located directly on the Black Sea in Constanta 🥰

The building was first constructed as a wooden structure in 1880. In 1910, the casino was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style according to the plans of architect Daniel Renard. It is regarded as Romania’s most famous Art Nouveau building and is the landmark of the city of Constanta.
