Curtea Veche, Royal medieval residence in Bucharest, Romania
Located in central Bucharest, the Old Court features stone walls, arches, and remnants of a once grand palace from the medieval period.
The palace served as the main seat of power for Wallachian rulers in the 15th century, including Prince Vlad III who governed from this location.
The architectural elements display the Brâncovenesc style, combining Ottoman, Renaissance, and local Romanian building traditions in its remaining structures.
The archaeological site opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours in multiple languages and information panels detailing the history of each section.
Underground chambers beneath the palace contain medieval artifacts, original foundation walls, and a network of passages used by the royal court.
