Țepeș Castle, Bucharest, Historic castle in Carol Park, Romania.
The stone fortress stands on Candiano Popescu Street, featuring medieval architecture with a central tower and fortified walls within Carol Park boundaries.
Built in 1906 during King Carol I's reign, this structure was designed as a water reservoir disguised as a smaller copy of Poenari Castle.
The fortress represents Romanian military heritage as headquarters of the National Office for Heroes Memory, managing monuments and military cemeteries.
Access to the castle interior is limited to two annual occasions: Heroes Day during Orthodox Ascension and Romanian Army Day on October 25.
The structure began as a water tank that King Carol I considered unappealing, leading architects to transform it into a medieval fortress design.
