E, as in Evul Mediu (in Romanian, it means The Middle Ages). I present you 4 cool postal cards from ROMANIA, showing the ruins (in Argeş County) and replica (in BUCHAREST) of the historical DRACULA's real castle. The POENARI [variant: POIENARI] Castle ([po.eˈnarʲ]), also known as Poenari Citadel (Cetatea Poenari in Romanian), is a ruined castle in Romania, in Argeş County (Căpăţânenii Pământeni village of the Arefu commune) on a canyon formed on the Argeş River valley, close to the Făgăraş Mountains.

Since search engines cannot read images, I'll repeat the caption for their convenience.
If you read it only once, I'm happy with that. :)

I think these 4 postcards are still available for purchase from Romania, until the UN-DEAD awakens again...:)
Tell me if you want some. To buy some.

| The name you see on the postal cards belongs to my dear friend Teodor Ghiatza-Melnic, whom I have honored in the above personalized stamp and maximum card. He is, perhaps, the greatest collector in the world of all things Dracula, both historical (Vlad III Dracula) and fictional (Bram Stoker's vampire). |

Beata, dear, that's NOT in Transylvania (where Vlad Dracula was born), but in Wallacchia (where he ruled).
See a cool fictional drawing of the castle:

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
