Corvin Castle, Gothic castle in Hunedoara, Romania.
The castle rises from a rocky hill, featuring red-orange stone walls, defensive towers, and a drawbridge spanning across the Zlaști River.
John Hunyadi initiated the construction in 1446, transforming a previous keep built by Charles I of Hungary into one of Europe's largest castles.
The Knight's Hall and Diet Hall contain marble decorations and stone carvings that represent medieval Romanian architectural traditions and military heritage.
Visitors can explore the castle every day from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with entrance fees at 5 euros for adults and reduced rates for students.
Three Turkish prisoners dug a 100-foot deep well inside the castle after receiving a promise of freedom, which their captors never granted.
