Anybody aware about the birthplace of Vlad Tepes, also known as Dracula after Bram Stokers novel from 1897.

Yes, Vlad Tepes is a real historical figure who lived in Walachia (Romania) between 1428 – 1477. He was born in Sighisoara, Romania.

Enclosed some pictures from this historical, beautifull city...
