Hunyadi Castle – the place where you can be a princess for a day

RO : Comparabil cu castelele din vestul Europei, Castelul Huniazilor ( sau Corvinilor ) a devenit cunoscut tuturor drept emblema judetului Hunedoara. Ceea ce a fost o data o cetate din Evul Mediu, a fost transformata de-a lungul decenilor intr-un adevarat castel, care reuseste sa se impuna prin amploarea si rafinamentul arhitecturii gotice, devenind astfel una din atractiilor majore ale Romaniei.

Nu-mi amintesc cu exactitate prima data cand am vizitat acest castel, fiind prea mica, insa stiu cu siguranta ca m-a fermecat si a trezit in mine o dorinta arzatoare de a-l vizita la nesfarsit.Este, in fond, ceva cu care noi, hunedorenii ne mandrim, chiar daca nu inotdeauna am stiut sa-l pretuim la adevarata sa valoare.

Si da, este adevarat, aici te poti simti ca o printesa sau de ce nu, ca un print, privind din turnuri minunata mare de verde ce inconjoara castelul.Si fara indoiala nu poti sa nu iti imaginezi cum s-au derulat batalii acolo, cum Ioan de Hunedoara, copil fiind, a sagetat corbul care furase inelul de aur si astfel aparand pe blazonul familiei, cum cei trei prizonieri turci au asudat si trudit timp de 15 ani pentru ca fantana ceruta de Ioan de Hunedoara sa fie functionala si pentru ca ei sa-si recapete libertatea, si cum intre timp murise, sotia sa a hotarat sa-i ucida, dand nastere astfel la faimoasa zicala a unuia dintre prizonieri : “Apa ai, inima nu”.

Iar fiindca acum nu as mai putea purta acela rochii extravagante, voluminoase si lungi pana in pamant, cu umerii bufanti si maneci lungi , am ales sa port o fusta plisata de la Bershka de un gri satinat, pentru a pastra un aer de feminitate, combinata in partea de sus cu o piesa cumparata din Torino de la Nuna Lie, cu paiete de culoarea piersicii ce se asorteaza incaltamintei de la H & M intr-o nunta de roz pal spre somon.Pentru accesorizare am optat pentru o curea neagra cu tinte argintii si pietre.Si nu mica mi-a fost mirarea sa aflu ca Tom Ford a propus pentru primavara-vara 2018 la NYFW exact aceleasi combinatii de nuante si texturi.

EN : Comparable to the castles in the Western europe, Hunyadi Castle became well known to everybody as the emblem of Hunedoara County.What once was a fortress of the Middle Ages, was transformed over the decades into a real castle, who manages to stand out through the breadth and rafinament of the gothic architecture, thus becoming one of the major atractions in Romania.

I don’t exactly remember the first time that I visited the castle, because I was too small, but I know for sure that it has enchanted me and woke inside of me a burning desire to visit it over and over again.It is, after all, something that us, the people of Hunedoara take pride of, even if we didn’t always knew to appreciate it to it’s real value.

And yes, it is real, here you can feel like a princess and why not, a prince , looking from  those towers at the wonderful sea of green that surrounds the castle.And no doubt you can not imagine the battles that took place there, how Ioan of Hunedoara, as a child, threw his bow into the raven that stole the gold ring and so it appeared on the family blazon, how the three Turkish prisoners worked for 15 years so that the fountain requested by Ioan of Hunedoara was functionally and that they will be given back their freedom, and how meantime he died and his wife to kill them, given birth to the famous saying : “You have water, but you don’t have a heart”.

And because now I can’t wear those extravagant, voluminous and long to the ground dresses, with big shoulders and sleeves, I chose to wear a pleated skirt from Bershka of a satin gray, to keep the air of feminity, combined on top with a piece that I bought from Turin from Nuna Lie, with peach sequins which matches the shoes from H& M in a light pink-salmon color.For accesory I chose a black belt with silver dots and stones.And little do I know that Tom Ford proposed for Spring-Summer 2018 at NYFW the same shades and textures.
