The Snagov Monastery

The Monastery is also known as “Dracula’s Tomb”. Inside it we can find the largest assembly of medieval frescoes from Wallachia, dating from the XVIth Century.Vlad the Impaler is supposed to be buried here, after being killed in the nearby forest. In the middle of the church a tomb has been discovered, with bones of a man in precious clothes. As the priest explained to me five years ago, his tomb is placed right in front of the altar, so that he may obtain forgiveness when the priest goes to the altar passing by his tomb. It is said that under the monastery there is a vast gallery with tunnels, but which is currently flooded. Flooded by the last Communist President of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu, in order not to be used by spies! Join us today to find the truth about Dracula’s Tomb and it’s history!
