This is a mountainous region in the modern, eastern European country of Romania (or Rumania). In Transylvania you can still visit the castle of Drakul - an actual character who lived in Transylvania on which the story of Dracula was based by Bram Stoker. 'Drakul' or Vlad the Impaler, as he was known, dealt with his enemies by killing them, drinking their blood and by impaling them on wooden stakes which is where the idea of a vampire sucking blood and driving a wooden stake into a vampire's heart came from in Bram Stoker's novel.

What part of Romania is Transylvania in?

Although their names sound similar, the legendary Transylvania, once home to the infamous Vlad the Impaler - the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's Dracula - is NOT a part of the Pennsylvania, USA. This Transylvania is actually a central region in modern day Romania, in southeastern Europe. There is, however, a Transylvania Bible School in western Pennsylvania, although neither are related in any meaningful way. "Sylvania" in both cases means "woods" in Latin. Transylvania means "beyond the woods" while Pennsylvania means "Penn's woods," named after William Penn.

Did vampires come from Italy?

Vampires are said to have originated from Transylvania, a modern part of Romania. This came about because an ancient vampire impaler, Vlad, used to capture opposing wounded or captured soldiers. He did so in his castle in Transylvania, Romania. The first known vampire, Lilith, however, drank blood, but not of her opponents. She is known as the Demon of Death. She was also in Transylvania.
