Transilvania

"Transilvania (en húngaro, Erdély, en rumano, Transilvania o Ardeal) es una región histórica localizada en la parte centro-noroccidental de la actual Rumania. Fue constituida tras las derrotas de Austrohungría en la Primera guerra mundial y de Hungría en la Segunda guerra mundial. Está rodeada por los Montes Cárpatos. La capital tradicional de la región, Alba Iulia, está situada en la meseta del mismo nombre, mientras que Braov y Sibiu, dos de las principales ciudades, están al pie de los Cárpatos."

"Transylvania (Romanian: Transilvania or Ardeal, Hungarian: Erdély, German: Siebenbürgen or Transsilvanien, Polish: Siedmiogród, Latin: Transsilvania, Turkish: Erdel) is a historical region located in what is today the central part of Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Criana, Maramure and the Romanian part of Banat. The region of Transylvania is known for the scenic beauty of its Carpathian landscape and its rich history. It also contains major cities such as Cluj-Napoca, Braov and Sibiu. In the English-speaking world it has been commonly associated with vampires, chiefly due to the influence of Bram Stoker's famous novel Dracula as well as the many later film adaptations."
