Dracula’s Dungeon Has Been Found In Turkey!
Archaeologists in Northern Turkey, who have been researching Tokat Castle, believe that they have found the dungeon that held Prince Vlad III, the inspiration for “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” for 12 years. The dungeon was found when secret tunnels were revealed during a restoration project.
“The castle is completely surrounded by secret tunnels,” Archaeologist Ibrahim Çetin states. “It is very mysterious. It is hard to estimate in which room Dracula was kept, but he was around here.”
Prince Vlad III, also known as Vlad The Impaler, was held hostage in this dungeon in the early 15th century after being captured by Ottoman Turks. He later reclaimed his throne and is said to have died in battle against the Turks in 1476.
