Royal Palace of Bucharest, Royal palace in Sector 1, Bucharest, Romania
The Royal Palace of Bucharest is a baroque structure with four floors and a white stone facade located on a main street in the center. Inside, grand halls showcase art collections and serve as exhibition spaces for visitors.
The original building was completely rebuilt in 1937 following a fire that destroyed it. Architects Paul Gottereau and Nicolae Nenciulescu designed the modernized reconstruction.
The National Museum of Art of Romania occupies the palace and displays medieval and modern European works throughout its rooms. Visitors can see art collections that span several centuries of creative expression.
The main entrance is on Calea Victoriei and guided tours are offered in multiple languages throughout the week. Tours help visitors understand the building's layout and art collections.
The Throne Hall inside hosted a significant political declaration when King Mihai I announced a shift in the country's international alignment. This moment marked a turning point in the nation's direction.
