The Old Centre of Bucharest

From all the monuments in the old centre of our city, we strongly recommend the Curtea Veche Museum (The Old Court Museum), the church Buna Vestire, Manuc's Inn and the Stavropoleos Church.

 Situated in the old centre of Bucharest, the Curtea Veche Museum is worth visiting.
Here you can see fragments of constructions raised in the ages of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), Mircea Ciobanul and Constantin Brancoveanu.
The museum houses a large number of flag-stones, vases, stone cannon balls and traces of settlements going back to the 4th century, as well as other important historical vestiges.

Nearby is the church Buna Vestire, Bucharest's oldest building (1558-1559) kept to our days.

This church is worth visiting indeed!

 Another interesting place in this old centre would be Manuc's Inn, raised by an Armenian merchant in 1808. It became a two star hotel, with a bar and restaurant. It has a beautiful courtyard.

 

The Stavropoleos Church, a small gem of the Brancovan style built in 1724 by a Greek monk is also located in this area.

The exterior gallery of this church was carved in stone.
