Hi, I'm an italian student (last year of philosophy!!) and i'm writing a novel about magic and stuff.
I needed a castle for my warewolves, and I found out the Colt castle, in Romania, that is perfect. There are just some ruins and it looks very isolated!
But... on the internet there are not much informations about it... obiouvsly...
So... does anybody know something about it? The history, the(medieval)inhabitants, the magic?
Please help! I have to write the the 6 chapter!

thanks

At the edge of the Retezat Mountains, on a rock peak, the Colt fortress is found. The site was built by the Candea's family from Rau de Mori (The Mills River), at the beginning of the 14-th century. The fortress had a defense role, being the most powerful fortress of Transylvania.........http://www.panoramas.ro/places/colten.html
There is lots more info out there.
Looks a bit too spooky to me.
