Transylvania was the setting for part of [[Bram Stoker]]'s horror novel ''[[Dracula]]'' (1897), and home to the fictional [[vampire]] Count Dracula, whom Stoker based loosely on the historical Transylvanian prince Vladimir Dracula (or '[[Vlad the Impaler]]').  The novel has firmly established a link, now a cliche, associating Transylvania with vampires and other [[supernatural]] monsters such as [[werewolves]].

Transylvania is hilly, picturesque and relatively undeveloped.  Agricultural practices remain traditional, and it is common to see groups of workers using scythes or horses and carts.  Tradition and religion (largely [[Orthodox Christianity]]) are very important to the Transylvanians, and the region is home to some beautiful churches.  Other attractions in Transylvania iclude the impressive walled citadel at Brasov and several castles, including Bran Castle, which has a historical association with Vlad the Impaler.
