Transylvania is by far the most famous region of Romania in the West, legendary as the mysterious home of the ruthless vampire, Count Dracula. Many people believe that Transylvania was made up in the fevered imagination of Bram Stoker, and then to become the setting of countless Hollywood films.

The real Transylvania is one of the three main historic regions of Romania, located in the north-west of the country and bordered by the Carpathian mountains to the West and South. It is one of the most beautiful regions of Europe, home to alpine scenery, green pastures, and quaint medieval villages.

Unlike the other historic regions of Romania – Wallachia and Moldavia – Transylvania was under Hungarian and Austrian rule for centuries, giving it a more central European feel than the rest of Romania. Look for university towns filled with elegant Baroque architecture and ski resorts established in the 19th century.

Question: No

What is the main religion of Romania?

Body:

The majority of Romanians (86.5%) are affiliated with the Romanian Orthodox Church. Christianity reached Romania (or Dacia, as it was then known) under the Roman Empire as early as the 4th century AD. By the late 9th century, the Romanians had accepted a Slavonic liturgy, introduced by Bulgarian rule. Romania remained under the Patriarchate of Constantinople until the 19th century, and the church was only granted its own Patriarch in 1925.

The most significant minority religious groups are Catholics and Protestants, most of whom are part of the ethnic Hungarian population concentrated in Transylvania. Romania is home to small Jewish and Muslim communities, while the Romani people (around 3% of the population) blend Romanian Orthodoxy with their own spiritual traditions.

Why is Romania called Romania?

Body:

The name Romania is derived from the Romanian Român, which in turn is derived from the Latin Romanus. Romanians believe that they are the descendants of ancient Romans who conquered southern Transylvania under the Emperor Trajan in 105 CE. The Romans withdrew under Aurelian in 271, but many Roman settlers had intermarried with the local Dacian people, creating a new nation. This Latin-speaking Daco-Roman culture survived both folk migrations of Slavic peoples as well as the invasions of neighbouring empires (especially the Ottomans)

The Roman heritage is at the core of Romanian cultural and national identity. Most prominently, the Romanian language is a Romance language descended from Latin, more closely related to French, Italian, and Spanish than to the Slavic languages that surround it.
