The Anatolian dungeon where Wallachian Prince Vlad III the Impaler, also known as Count Dracula, is said to have been held captive at the beginning of 1400s will soon be viewable online as part of a digitalization project that was conducted in parallel to restoration on Tokat Castle, which is connected to the prison.
“We set up a camera system here. Especially the dungeons where Count Dracula was kept will be under monitoring. The cameras will be available in 15 days all around the world through the Internet,” he said.
Within the scope of the works, the bastions of the castle were reinforced and excavations were made around the fortress. Archaeologists discovered secret tunnels and two dungeons in the castle while also learning that Count Dracula, who lived from 1431 to 1476, was imprisoned there.
Vlad III lived between 1431 and 1476. Most historians say he was kept in captivity in Romania. The exact length of his period of captivity is open to debate, though indications are that it was from 1462 to 1474.

I thought he was still alive and living in North Dakota.
