At the same time, the river forms a natural border with the neighbouring Serbia. The Palace of the Parliament, or Palatul Parlamentului, is the second largest building on Earth. Its only competitor is the American Pentagon. The Dacia car can be seen as a national symbol, and the Romanians are proud to be one of the nations with the largest number of cars per person. Another well-known symbol of Romania among tourists is Dracula. The most famous Dracula’s castle is the Bran Castle, which is located almost a hundred kilometres from Bucharest. Romania is often associated with salt caves, volcanic mountains and a cemetery located in the village of Săpânța. The tombstones are decorated in various colours, dominated by blue. It symbolizes the heaven into which the soul is to enter after death.
