How old was vlad the impaler when he died
Did you know that the Dracula's tomb, the legendary and infamous Conte Vlad III, could reside right in the lively and colourful historic centre of Naples? Some studies in place since 2014 locate it inside the precious Monumental Complex of Santa Maria La Nova. The esoteric and alchemical symbolism present on the fifteenth-century tomb of the Ferillo family, set precisely in the minor cloister of St. Giacomo della Marca, seems to direct the research towards the enigmatic figure of Count Dracula. Wall inscriptions with their encrypted codes, still to be decrypted, overwhelm the mystery and fuel the charm of this place rich in art and religiosity.
Background history or Santa Maria La Nova's Church
The Church of Santa Maria la Nova is called “Nova” to differentiate it from that of Santa Maria ad Palatium, erected in the place where the Maschio Angioino was later built, occupied by a monastery of minor friars. Charles I of Anjou demolished it to build the castle, giv Vlad dracula!
