Târgoviște - Chindia Tower
Medieval stone fortress in Dâmbovița county
What it feels like
Stone-cold corridors, narrow windows, the weight of centuries under every arch. The kind of place where the silence is part of the architecture.
Chindia Tower, the symbol of Târgoviște, built by Vlad Țepeș in 1460 as a watchtower and princely residence, is the best-preserved medieval tower in Muntenia. From the top platform, the panorama over the entire Princely Court complex and the city is spectacular.
Best time to visit
