The capital of Romania is an interesting mix of buildings from different periods of history: the period of the Kingdom of Romania, the communist period and the period after 1989. We are proud that the city still retains the imprint of the interwar period when it was called "Little Paris". We look forward to telling you the story of the city.

Guerre d'indépendance
La place de la Révolution est une place du centre de Bucarest, située sur la Calea Victoriei. Connue sous le nom de place du Palais jusqu'en 1989, elle a été rebaptisée après la Révolution roumaine de décembre 1989. On y trouve l'ancien Palais royal (aujourd'hui le Musée national d'art de Roumanie), l'Athénée, l'hôtel Athénée Palace, la bibliothèque de l'Université de Bucarest et le Mémorial de la Renaissance. La place abrite également le bâtiment de l'ancien Comité central du Parti communiste roumain (d'où Nicolae Ceaușescu et son épouse ont fui en hélicoptère le 22 décembre 1989). En 1990, le bâtiment est devenu le siège du Sénat et, depuis 2006, il abrite le ministère de l'Intérieur et de la Réforme administrative.

Route de la Victoire
Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) is a major avenue in central Bucharest. Initially, the road was known as Ulița Mare (Large Street), also known as Drumul Brașovului (Brașov Road), being part of the trade route between Bucharest and the city of Brașov, in Transylvania. In 1692, ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu paved the road with wood and partly regularized it, making it pass through the domains of the Bălăceni, of the Saint John Monastery, Zlătari Monastery and of the Cantacuzenes up to the Sărindari Monastery. Since 1692 it was known as Podul Mogoșoaiei (Mogoșoaia Wood-Paved Road) because it also was connecting the Bucharest's center with Brâncoveanu's Mogoșoaia Palace some km outside the city.
Most roads in the Balkans at that time became muddy in the spring and autumn, and the wood prevented this. Consequently, the road was one of the most important construction works of the area and a source of pride to Bucharesters. The area surrounding the road became the most fashionable part of Bucharest: 35 boyar houses were located on the road itself in 1775.
Podul Mogoșoaiei was the first street in Bucharest to be illuminated with candles during the night, starting July 1814.

Bucarest
The Old Court, first built on this site in the second part of the 15th-century by Vlad Ţepeş, was considerably extended during the 16th century, by Mircea Ciobanul, and again a century later, this time at the hand of Constantin Brancoveanu, who added a splendid voievodal palace, decorated with marble and icons. The palace was by and large destroyed by a series of fires in the 19th century however, and subsequently neglected. Much of what remains today was uncovered during archaeological digs that took place from 1967-72, when the palace ruins were first opened as a museum. There are fragments of the original 15th century walls, as well as remnants of the voievodal palace throne room, in which most of the relics found on the site are exhibited.

Manoir Ceausescu
The Spring Palace was the former private residence of Nicolae Ceausescu. For those of you who don’t know, Nicolae Ceausescu was Romania’s communist head of state between 1965 and 1989.
The palace was built in the ’60s at the command of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who wanted to move there when it would be finished. Unfortunately, he died in 1965 and Nicolae Ceausescu took over as the communist leader. Ceausescu lived there along with his wife, Elena and their three kids, Nicu, Zoe and Valentin until he was executed in 1989.
At that time, the palace was known as “obiectivul P50” and it didn’t allow access for anyone other than the Ceausescu family.
Let’s discover more spicy details about the Spring Palace and why it’s worth visiting.
