Rute
The most spectacular Gothic-style castle in Romania, Corvin was built by the Anjou family on the site of a former Roman camp. The castle served as a fortress until the mid-14th century when it became the residence of Transylvania's voivode, Iancu de Hunedoara (Ioannes Corvinus in Latin, Hunyadi in Hungarian). Iancu upgraded the fortress transforming it into a stunning Transylvania castle. The beautifully preserved structure features a sumptuous Knights' Hall, an impressive drawbridge, high buttresses, inner courtyards, a chapel and some 50 rooms resplendent with medieval art. The castle's courtyard features a 100-ft. well dug into stone, in the 15th Century. Legend says that the wheel was dug by three Turkish prisoners who were promised freedom when job was done. It took them 15 years and 28 days to reach water. Although a museum, Corvin Castle occasionally hosts private functions and special celebrations.

About Oradea
Oradea is a city in western Romania near the Hungarian border, known for its Art Nouveau streets, a star-shaped fortress and thermal spas.
Oradea lies on the Crișul Repede river in western Romania, close to the Hungarian border, and grew rich under the Habsburgs. Its centre is one of the best collections of Secession and Art Nouveau buildings in the country, among them the Black Eagle Palace, whose arcade has a glass roof of coloured panes. A star-shaped Renaissance fortress with a moat stands at the edge of the old town.
