Târgoviște, Medieval capital in Dâmbovița County, Romania
The city stands on the Ialomița River banks, surrounded by the Transylvanian Alps at an elevation of 260 meters above sea level.
From 1418 to 1659, Târgoviște functioned as the capital of Wallachia, featuring the Princely Court where rulers including Vlad III Dracula resided.
The Chindia Tower, built in the 15th century, rises as the central architectural element of the Royal Court Museum Complex.
Visitors can reach Târgoviște through national roads DN1/71 from Brașov and DN72 from Ploiești, with regular train connections to major Romanian cities.
The city preserves a rare books museum in Princess Safta's former residence, documenting the evolution of Romanian printing through centuries.
