Sinaia, Romania

The Gothic-Renaissance Corvin Castle, sometimes called Hunyadi Castle or Hunedoara Castle, is located in Hunedoara, Romania. One of the Seven Wonders of Romania, it is regarded as one of the biggest castles in Europe.The castle is a massive and imposing building with tall towers, bastions, an inner courtyard, roofs of various colors, and numerous windows and balconies with stone carvings. It was built in the Renaissance-Gothic style on a rock above the smaller Zlaşti River, on the site of an earlier fortification. In addition to having a double wall for increased protection, the castle has both round and rectangular towers on either side, which is unusual for Transylvanian design at the time. Several of the towers served as jails. The Buzdugan Tower's facade was embellished with geometric motifs and was constructed exclusively for defensive purposes. Large apertures in the rectangular towers allow for the use of bigger guns.During John Hunyadi's rule, the castle underwent a transformation and became one of his most significant holdings. It evolved from a strategically enforced position to a luxurious residence. The castle's masters added towers, halls, and guest rooms to change the structure's appearance throughout time. Among the most important features of the building are the gallery, the keep, the last defense tower from John Hunyadi's era that hasn't changed, and the Capistrano Tower, which was named for the saint Franciscan priest who fought in the Battle of Belgrade in 1456.

Timișoara is the primary economic, social, and cultural hub of Western Romania and the capital of Timiș County, Banat. Timișoara, which is situated on the Bega River, is regarded as the unofficial capital of the ancient Banat area. It served as the capital of the Banat of Temeschwar, the Voivodeship of Serbia, and the Serbian Vojvodina from 1848 to 1860. Timișoara has 250,849 residents as of the 2021 census, making it the seventh most populous city in the nation. Over 70% of the population of Timiș and Arad counties is concentrated in the Timișoara–Arad metropolis, which is home to about 400,000 people in the metropolitan region. Timișoara is a diversified city with 18 different religious faiths and 21 different ethnic groups.Timișoara, which was taken from the Ottoman Turks by the Austrians in 1716, grew during the ensuing years behind the fortifications and in the urban centers that surrounded them. Due to numerous advancements in military technology, the fortress started to lose its utility in the second part of the 1800s. New boulevards and neighborhoods took the place of former military installations and bastions. In 1760, Timișoara became the first city in the Habsburg monarchy to have street lighting, and in 1884, it became the first city in Europe to have electric street lamps. It constructed a municipal hospital 24 years before Vienna and created the Habsburg monarchy's first public lending library.

The Danube Delta is Europe's best-preserved river delta and the continent's second-largest, behind the Volga Delta. The Danube Delta, which is located where the Danube River flows into the Black Sea, is mostly in Romania (Tulcea County), with a tiny portion in Ukraine (Odesa Oblast). 3,446 km2 of its 4,152 square kilometers (1,603 square miles) of surface area are in Romania. The Danube Delta's overall area is 5,165 km2 (1,994 sq mi), including the lagoons of Razim and Sinoe, which are situated south of the main delta. The delta proper and the Razim–Sinoe lagoon complex are related both geologically and ecologically; the entire area is recognized as a World Heritage Site.One of the driest and sunniest areas of Romania is thought to be the Danube Delta.The average annual temperature is 11°C (January is -1°C and July is 22°C), and the average amount of precipitation is 400–300 mm.Large forests of willow trees once covered the hard terrain of the delta, but they have nearly all been felled and replaced by Canadian poplars. White poplar (Populus alba) and small groves of willow trees (Salix alba, Salix fragilis, Salix purpurea, Salix pentandra, and Salix triandra) are still present on the riverbanks that have been preserved in their original state. Along the Danube's arms and larger channels, the willow trees occasionally create corridors.Mixed forests of oaks (Quercus robur and Quercus pedunculiflora) and other trees (Fraxinus pallisiae, Ulmus foliaceae, Populus tremula), shrubs (Prunus spinosa, Crataegus monogyna, Rosa canina, and Berberis vulgaris, among others), and vines (Vitis sylvestris, Hedera helix, Humulus lupulus, and Periploca graeca, which reaches up to 25m) coexist on the levees of Letea and Caraorman. Particularly in the hollows between the sand dunes, in little groves known as hasmace, these exotic-looking forests thrive on the Letea levee. The Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), and meadow viper (Vipera ursinii) are among the fauna of this area.
