Solacoglu Inn

Solacoglu Inn is a two-story structure of stone and brick on Calea Moşilor in Bucharest, combining traditional Romanian building methods with Neoclassical design features. The building shows the blend of local construction practices and European architectural influences from the 1800s.

The inn was constructed in 1859 by the Solacoglu Brothers from Bulgaria and initially served as a pasta production facility and trade center. It operated as a key junction connecting central Bucharest with the Obor Market district.

The building served as a gathering place for Bulgarian freedom fighters during the 1877 conflict, reflecting the shared cause between Romanian and Bulgarian communities. Its role as a commercial hub on a major trading route made it a natural meeting point for people from different backgrounds.

The structure is not currently open to the public and is protected by metal barriers that prevent entry. You can view the architectural details from the street along Calea Moşilor, which offers good sightlines of the exterior.

A commemorative plaque installed by the Bulgarian Embassy identifies the building as a symbol of Romanian-Bulgarian cooperation during Ottoman resistance. This marker makes the historical connection between the two nations visible to visitors passing by.
