National Bank of Romania , Bucharest, Historic palace in Bucharest, Romania.

The National Bank of Romania building displays eclectic architecture with grand columns, elaborate decorations, and allegorical statues representing Agriculture, Industry, and Justice.

Construction began in 1883 under architects Paul Louis Albert Galleron and Joseph-Marie Cassien Barnard, marking Romania's economic development during King Carol I's reign.

The palace reflects the late 19th-century transformation of Bucharest into 'Little Paris' through its Beaux-Arts influences and Western European architectural elements.

Located at coordinates 44.440508, 26.108436 in central Bucharest, the building maintains its function as Romania's central bank while offering architectural tours.

During World War I, the bank's valuables, known as the Romanian Treasure, were transported to Moscow for protection but were never fully returned.
