National Theatre Bucharest "Ion Luca Caragiale", Brutalist theatre in University Square, Romania.
The National Theatre of Bucharest stands as a concrete structure with angular forms and raw surfaces, representing Romanian theatrical arts since 1973.
The original theatre building from 1852 was destroyed during World War II bombings in 1944, leading to the construction of the current structure.
Named after playwright Ion Luca Caragiale, the theatre presents Romanian and international performances across its seven auditoriums throughout the year.
The theatre complex contains 2,880 seats distributed among multiple performance spaces, with the main hall accommodating 940 spectators.
A bronze monument consisting of 16 sculptures weighing 25 tons depicts characters from Ion Luca Caragiale's works in front of the theatre.
