Historical places connected to Vlad Tepes are publicised under a Dracula theme catering largely, but not entirely, to foreign markets. Bran Castle, which has only a very tangential connection with the historical Vlad Tepes, now exaggerates that connection and promotes itself as "Dracula's Castle". [4] A dungeon-themed disco, catering to a mostly Romanian crowd and located in the basement of a former inn immediately adjacent to the Curtea Veche ("Old Court") — onetime site of Vlad Tepes's castle in Bucharest — calls itself by the English-language name "Impaler". The well-preserved medieval town of Sighisoara, Vlad Tepes's birthplace, seriously considered building a Dracula theme park on the edge of town, but in the end it was decided that such a site would cheapen the beauty and history of the medieval city, and the plan was blocked. The park was then to have been built close to Bucharest (the capital, which is nowhere near Transylvania), but plans have subsequently been scrapped.
