Geography & Architecture
-Transylvania is continually being conquered (Romans, Huns, Carpi, Gepids, Avars, Slavs, & Bulgarians), it is buried deep in the mountains
-There is still tension today because there are no "real" Transvylvanians
- Bistritz: city of 50,000 citizens, established in the 12th century
- Hotel Castle Dracula in passing is about 20 miles away from where Dracula's Castle would have been
-Slain's Castle (Scotland), 1597
-Stoker visited this castle, and Dracula's castle is very similar in description
Stoker never traveled to the places in the novel, there is no significance in the names of the places because he just found them on a map
