Sinaia, Mountain resort town near Bucegi Mountains, Romania

Located in the Prahova River valley at elevations between 767 and 860 meters, Sinaia extends across the eastern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains.

The town received its name from the Sinaia Monastery, built in 1695 by Mihai Cantacuzino, before developing as a settlement after the 1878 railway construction.

Peleș Castle, the former summer residence of Romanian royalty, displays German Renaissance architecture with 160 rooms containing paintings, furniture, and decorative arts.

The area maintains several ski slopes, hiking trails, and mountain paths, while offering accommodation options ranging from hotels to camping facilities throughout seasons.

Eagles of Freedom Plaza features a marble monument listing the names of 378 American soldiers who lost their lives in Romania during World War II.
