Colțea Hospital, Municipal hospital in central Bucharest, Romania.
Colțea Hospital is a medical facility in downtown Bucharest that occupies an entire city block. The neo-classical building features white walls, large windows, and a symmetrical facade with several interior courtyards and wings.
Founded in 1704 by Mihail Cantacuzino, this was Bucharest's first organized medical institution. It established a model for integrated healthcare that influenced similar facilities across Eastern Europe.
The complex carries the name of its founder Mihail Cantacuzino, a figure central to Romania's medical past. Visitors can observe how different building styles show the evolution of healthcare practices across three centuries.
The hospital is located near Universității Square metro station, making it easily accessible by public transport. It operates 24-hour emergency services and houses multiple specialized medical departments available to the public.
The original structure combined a monastery, church, and medical school within one complex. This integration of healing, learning, and spirituality under one roof became a pioneering model for healthcare facilities in the region.
