Corvin Castle: The Gothic Masterpiece of Transylvania in 4k

Residing upon a hill in Hunedoara city in Romania, Corvinilor castle is hitting the top three most impressive castles in this country. The 15th century construction is accessible only by a long bridge and its exterior is stunning as it was built on the top of a rock. The castle is a large and imposing structure with tall towers, an inner courtyard, colored roofs and windows and balconies adorned with stone carvings. The castle also features a double wall for enhanced fortification and is flanked by both rectangular and circular towers, an architectural innovation in that times for the Transylvanian architecture. I was personally impressed by how different it is compared to other Transylvanian fortresses. The medieval vibe hits you when you enter the garden right next to the castle, which is called Curtea Husarilor. Before heading towards the bridge that crosses the slushed river you have the chance to visit the torture exhibition, a very common practice of the 15th century. If you're not ready for this, go south, cross the bridge and enter the mighty construction. I'm not usually vlogging with this kit but hey I remembered how how nice this castle is and guys visit this castle it's cool and at at 12 o'clock they have they have a ceremony and they tell in this ceremony why they why they pull the bells and yeah they wear traditional costumes and it's it's great. So if you plan to visit you might be lucky to take part of a history lesson that takes place at 12 in the square inside the castle. However the play will not be available every day but only when the themes of the castle are available. As we travel back in history this mighty construction was strategically placed as a military objective and later became the home of Iancu de Hunedoara, the voivode of Transylvania. The construction of the castle happened in four phases across 500 years, a unique collaboration between generations that transformed the building from a strategically enforced point to an opulent home. With the passing of the years the masters of the castle had modified its look adding towers, halls and guest rooms. On July 2nd 1456 the first Turkish troops were seen around the fortress and on the Danube built a blockade consisting of three rows of ships linked together with chains so that the help of the fortress was no longer possible. The attack began on July 4th 1456 when the Turks placed their cannons in the firing position and ended on July 22nd when the John of Hunedoara or Ioan de Hunedoara defeated the Turk. Following this victory Pope Calixtus III himself praised the stars for the name of the illustrious as one of the most glorious people who ever lived the world. He also demanded that each church ring the bells at noon in Victoria's honor. A brilliant military leader with equally high political ambitions Ioan de Hunedoara whose home this castle was carried and won some of the most important battles against the Ottoman Empire stopping at least for a few decades the Turks If you are a history enthusiast or if you just want to change the scenery from the cities with something exciting then this place is for you. For me the history lesson behind the castle is more about perseverance. If we follow our heart's rules we can build a trustful fortress that might defend us from challenging thoughts and win big long term.
