Targoviste Royal Court, which was conceived as a complex of buildings that served both as an administrative center and as a dwelling for the ruler, his family, numerous courtiers, and servants. Meetings of the local council took place here, important trials were carried out and documents of the chancellery were issued from here. Guests and foreign travelers, who arrived in Wallachia for a variety of purposes were hosted here too.Princely Church of St Nicholas

See its Princely Church and its frescoed interior which is one of the first examples of Romanian paintings. The Episcopal Church (the monastery) which is a recreation of the original built in 1512 -1517 by prince Neagoe Basarab (rebuilt in 1875 – 1885).Poienari Castle
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Includedtanding on a cliff but now in ruins – this is known as the real castle of Dracula (Vlad Tepes). To get to the top you must climb up its 1400 steps (takes approx. 30 minutes). Once you arrive to the top of the castle you will find that it is surprisingly small; one third has collapsed down the mountainside in 1888.
