Banca Chrissoveloni, Bank building in Old Town, Bucharest, Romania.
The Chrissoveloni Bank building features two separate entrances: one on Lipscani Street for customers and another on Stavropoleos Street for employees.
Greek banker Zannis Chrissoveloni established the bank in 1848 after moving from Constantinople to Romania, where he developed a financial institution with multiple branches.
The Renaissance-style architecture incorporates marble, stone, and metal elements, with the Florentine Room displaying wooden beams and intricate stone flooring.
The two-level basement contained bank vaults, while the ground floor housed public counters and the upper levels accommodated offices and meeting spaces.
The building included modern amenities for its time, such as a canteen, gymnasium with changing rooms, and a barber shop on its upper floors.
