Cantacuzino palace, Palace on Victory Avenue in Bucharest, Romania

The Cantacuzino Palace displays French Beaux-Arts architecture with detailed stone carvings, two stone lions guarding the entrance, and wrought iron gates.

The palace, constructed between 1901 and 1903 for Prime Minister Gheorghe Cantacuzino, served as the Council of Ministers headquarters during World War II.

The building contains the George Enescu National Museum, presenting the composer's manuscripts, photographs, musical instruments, and personal belongings since 1956.

The palace houses three exhibition halls dedicated to Romanian music history, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the week.

The building witnessed the signing of the Treaty of Bucharest in 1913, which ended the Second Balkan War between Romania and Bulgaria.
