El teito es un tipo de construcción típica de Somiedo (Asturias).
De planta rectangular o cuadrada, tiene las paredes de mampostería y la techumbre compuesta por un entramado de madera que sustenta una cubierta vegetal.
Esta cubierta, generalmente de planta de escoba, es el elemento más singular de la edificación y del que toma el nombre de “teito”. Derivado del latín “tectum”, es la palabra asturleonesa empleada para referirse a cualquier tipo de “techo” vegetal.
Las también llamadas cabanas de teito están directamente emparentadas con las casas que constituían los castros neolíticos, tan similares, por su planta circular, a los corros somedanos.
Muchas de ellas se han conservado hasta nuestros días en perfectas condiciones, bien para guardar ganado, utensilios de labranza o como museos
Algunas incluso han estado habitadas hasta hace pocas décadas.
BRAN CASTLE -ROMANIA
Castle Bran situated near Bran village, Brasov County, in central Romania. The castle was built in the 13th century by the Teutonic Order and today is a national monument in Romania. Located Transylvania and Wallachia limits. Often referred to as "Dracula's Castle", but there is no evidence that Bram Stoker was referring to this castle and the relationship of the castle with Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration of the novel, is weak.
ΚΑΣΤΡΟ ΜΠΡΑΝ - ΡΟΥΜΑΝΙΑ
Το κάστρο Μπραν βρίσκεται κοντά στο χωριό Μπραν, Κομητεία Μπρασόβ, στην κεντρική Ρουμανία. Το κάστρο κατασκευάστηκε τον 13ο αιώνα από το Τευτονικό Τάγμα και σήμερα αποτελεί εθνικό μνημείο της Ρουμανίας. Βρίσκεται στα όρια Τρανσυλβανίας και Βλαχίας. Συχνά αναφέρεται ως το «κάστρο του Κόμη Δράκουλα», αλλά δεν υπάρχουν στοιχεία ότι ο Μπραμ Στόκερ αναφερόταν σε αυτό το κάστρο και η σχέση του κάστρου με τον Βλαντ Γ΄ Τσέπες, έμπνευση του μυθιστορήματος, είναι ισχνή.

El castillo de Bran es famoso por Drácula, probablemente uno de los cuentos de hadas más famosos de Rumania.
Drácula nunca existió, pero probablemente Vlad Tepes, un famoso guerrero, que nunca vivió en el castillo, fue el personaje detrás del cuento de hadas.

Bran Castle was built by order of Louis I of Anjou in the years 1377-1382. In 1921 it became the property of Queen Mary and her family. Due to tourism is touted as the seat of Wład Palownik, or Dracula. Dracula, however, did not have anything to do with it.

Zamek w Bran wzniesiono z rozkazu Ludwika I Andegaweńskiego w latach 1377-1382. W 1921 roku stał się własnością królowej Marii i jej rodziny. Ze względów turystycznych jest reklamowany jako siedziba Włada Palownika, czyli Drakuli. Drakula nie miał jednak z nim nic wspólnego.
"I carry a branch from the apple tree of Emain,
similar in the way you already know.
Branches of white silver grow on them
and beautiful crystalline flower buds.
There is an island very far from these lands,
around her gleam white seahorses.
Drawing his white trail against the shores,
they stand on four strong pillars.
There's an old tree in bloom
about which happy birds sing at all hours
in the sweetest harmony,
combining his song to mark the hours.
Here no one knows sadness
there is no harshness or sacrifices here,
there is no sickness, death or pain.
Such is the life of righteous Emain,
a life that is not in this world.
(Anonymous poem, 9th century)

Commonly known as Dracula's Castle, Bran Castle was originally built as a stronghold by the Teutonic Knights in 1212. The first documentary attestation of Bran Castle is the act issued by Louis I of Hungary on November 19, 1377, giving the Saxons of Kronstadt (Braşov) the privilege to build the Citadel.
The building started in 1378 as a defense against the Turks, and later became a customs post on the mountain pass between Transylvania and Wallachia.
In addition to its unique architecture, the castle is famous because of persistent myths that it was once the home of Dracula; however, there is no evidence that he ever lived there. According to most accounts, Dracula spent two days in the Bran dungeon.
