Orthodox Patriarchate

The Patriarchate Hill is a small hill and an important historic, cultural, architectural, religious and touristic point.

The Romanian Patriarchy and the residence of the Patriarch are both located here.

The monastic complex was surrounded by walls, like a citadel; beginning in 1698, access to the monastery yard was provided by the bell-tower built by Constantin Brâncoveanu.

The cathedral, dedicated to Saints Constantine and Helen, was built between 1654 and 1658 by Constantin Şerban and his wife Bălaşa, and consecrated under Mihnea III in 1658.

The chapel is the most valuable building on Dealul Mitropoliei. Built in the 17th century along with the palace, the chapel was rebuilt in 1723.

The building that is today the Patriarchal Palace (Palatul Patriarhal) was built under Constantin Şerban and was intended to house the monastery’s starets.

The Palace of the Chamber of Deputies was built in 1907 after the plans of architect Dimitrie Maimarolu, on the site of the princely divan, itself built where a group of old monastic buildings once were. It is build in a neo-classical style, with an 80-metre façade, in the centre of which is a peristyle featuring six Ionic columns.

Brâncoveanu was executed by Ottomans together with his four sons (for betraying the Turks and allying with Russians). They were offered the life if they would convert to islam but refused and for this reason have been sanctified by the Romanian Orthodox Church in 1992. As it was buried secretedly, it wasn't known where ruler's body is until 1914, when Nicolae Iorga (a historian) deciphered an inscription on a votive lamp at a tomb in this church, that was saying that in that place was the resting place of Brâncoveanu, which was later confirmed after opening the grave. I n 1847, during The Great Fire that destroyed much of the city, the surrounding buildings (the church was actually part of a large fortified a monastery) have been so much damaged that they have been left unrepaired and later collapsed, thus making the ground around the church higher with 1-2 m than its floor level. image hosted on flickr New Saint George Church, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr image hosted on flickr New Saint George Church, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr image hosted on flickr New Saint George Church, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr __________________ Summary of Romania Photos Bucharest -my photos * Aerials of Romania * Nature of Romania * Danube Delta * Constanța * Brăila & Galați * Brașov __________________________ I support the autonomy of Székely Land. * I denounce the killing of animals for food, hunting, clothing and others

It was inaugurated in 1906, on the 40th anniversary of the coronation of King Carol I. It hosted the 1906 Bucharest Exhibition, and included many pavilions and buildings, of which only the Technical Museum and the open air Roman Arenas survive. Aside from its beautiful vegetation and panoramic views, the park also includes several monuments, such as a Mausoleum, the Cantacuzino Fountain (built in 1870), another fountain Fântâna Minelor şi Carierelor (1906), the Giants' Statues, the Zodiac Fountain (1934), the Technical Museum (first opened in 1909), a monument in the shape of a small mosque built in 1923 as a sign of reconciliation. Also in the park are the open-air Roman Arena, and the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy. The mausoleum was built in honour of revolutionary socialist militants. In 1991, the mausoleum acquired a new purpose when the Communists were exhumed and interred in other cemeteries. They were replaced by the remains of soldiers fallen in World War I, brought from the Mărăşeşti Mausoleum. image hosted on flickr Carol Park, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr image hosted on flickr Carol Park, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr image hosted on flickr Carol Park, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr image hosted on flickr Carol Park, Bucharest by CARPATHIANLAND, on Flickr __________________ Summary of Romania Photos Bucharest -my photos * Aerials of Romania * Nature of Romania * Danube Delta * Constanța * Brăila & Galați * Brașov __________________________ I support the autonomy of Székely Land. * I denounce the killing of animals for food, hunting, clothing and others

The statue of King Carol I (the original destroyed after 1947 by communists, present one inaugurated in 2010) is between the two complexes of buildings. The present Central University Library was founded in 1895 as the Carol I Library of the University Foundation. The building was completed in 1893 and opened on 14 March 1895. In 1911, the building was extended by the same architect and the new wing was opened on 9 May 1914. During the Romanian Revolution of 1989, a fire was started in the building and over 500,000 books, along with 3,700 manuscripts, were burnt. Starting in April 1990, the building was repaired and modernized, being reopened on 20 November 2001. It includes the two historical wings and a new body with a big central space and roof luminator.

It starts in Constitution Square (the square in front of the Parliament Palace), runs through the large Unification Square and ends in the circular Alba Iulia Square. In middle between the two ways there are 27 fountains with complicated sculptures (10 between Unification and Alba Iulia squares, 17 between Constitution and Unification squares). In Unification Square alone (beside the 30 fountains along the avenue) there is a complex of 13 large fountains including the central one with a monumental support, all decorated with mosaic floors with vegetal and dolphin motifs and sculpted borders.
