which European country is home to the famous city of Transylvania
Answers
Answer:
Country: Romania
Explanation:
Transylvania (Romanian: Ardel or Transylvania; Hungarian: Erdli; German: Siebenbergen) is considered a historical region of central Romania. Its natural range is the Carpathian Mountains to the east and south, and the Apuseni Mountains to the west. Broad definitions of Transylvania include the western and north-western Romanian regions of Crisana and Maramure and sometimes also the Banat.
Transylvania is noted for both its Carpathian landscape scenery and its rich history. It also includes the country's fourth-largest city, Cluj-Napoca, as well as other cities and towns such as Braov, Sibiu, Taragu Moors, Alba Iulia and Sighisoara. Transylvania is also home to some of Romania's UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as villages with fortified churches, the historical center of Sighioara, the Dacian fortresses of the Oreti Mountains, and the Rossia Montana mining cultural landscape.
Transylvania belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary in the Middle Ages. From 1570 to 1711, the Hungarian princes governed it as a practically independent state. It was later a province of the Habsburg Empire, enjoying a high degree of autonomy. From 1867 until the end of World War I, it was again an integral part of Hungary within Austria-Hungary.
In popular culture, Transylvania is commonly associated with vampires due to the influence of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula and the many subsequent books and films inspired by the story.
