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.
