Mița the Cyclist House, Art Nouveau mansion in central Bucharest, Romania.

The two-story residence features ornate exterior decorations with lions, cupids, and cherubs adorning the limestone facade and grand windows.

Architect Nicolae Mihaescu constructed this mansion in 1908, which later became the residence of Maria Mihaescu through a gift from King Ferdinand I.

The building represents the architectural preferences of Romanian upper society during the early 1900s, combining Art Nouveau with Beaux-Arts elements.

The building stands at Biserica Amzei Street number 9 in Bucharest's first district, near the Amzei Church and square.

Maria Mihaescu earned her nickname as the first woman in Romania to ride a bicycle, challenging social norms by wearing pants while cycling.
