I. Presentation of the destination

1.1 Bucharest

Bucharest General Information

Location: Southern Romania

Elevation: 190-295 ft (55-90 m)

Size: City of Bucharest - 88 sq. miles

(228 sq.km);

Metropolitan area - 587 sq. miles

(1,521 sq. km)

Picture nr.1 - Map of Romania

Landmarks

Known for its wide, tree-lined

boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and

a reputation for the high life (which in the

1900s earned its nickname of "Little Paris"),

Bucharest, Romania's largest city and capital,

is today a bustling metropolis.

Romanian legend has it that the city of

Bucharest was founded on the banks of the

Dâmbovița River by a shepherd named Bucur,

whose name literarily means "joy."

Picture nr.2 -Bucharest Athenaeum



5

His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby

vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place.

House of the Free Press

(Casa Presei Libere)

Address: Free Press square

Picture nr.3 - House of the Free Press

An impressive edifice standing in the northern part of the city, since 1956, Casa Scânteii

(as it is still universally known) was designed by architect Horia Maicu. There is no doubt that

the building is a smaller replica of the Lomonosov University in Moskow - Russia (inaugurated in

1953).

Between 1956 and 1989, the House of the Free Press housed almost all of Romania's

capital printing presses and headquarters of print media companies.

Today, it carries out much the same function but the southern wing is now the home of

the Bucharest Stock Exchange.



6

The Arch of Triumph

(Arcul de Triumf)

Address: Arch of Triumph square

Picture nr.4 & 5 - The Arch of Triumph

Initially built of wood in 1922 to honor the bravery of Romanian soldiers who fought in

World War I, Bucharest's very own Arc de Triomphe was finished in Deva granite in 1936.

Designed by the architect, Petre Antonescu, the Arch stands 85 feet high. An interior staircase

allows visitors to climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city. The sculptures decorating

the structure were created by leading Romanian artists, including Ion Jalea, Constantin Medrea

and Constantin Baraschi.

Calea Victoriei

(Victory Avenue)

Victory Avenue is Bucharest's oldest and arguably, most charming street. Built in 1692 to

link the Old Princely Court to Mogoșoaia Palace, it was initially paved with oak beams. The

street became Victory Avenue in 1878, after the Romanian War of Independence victory.

Between the two world wars, Victory Avenue developed into one of the most fashionable

streets in the city.



7

Stroll along this street from Victory Avenue to United Nations Square to discover some

of the most stunning buildings in the city, including the Cantacuzino Palace, the historical

Revolution Square, the Military Club, the CEC Headquarters and the National History Museum.

The Romanian Athenaeum

(Ateneul Roman)

Address: Str. Benjamin Franklin 1

Picture nr.6 & 7 - The Romanian Athenaeum

The work of French architect Albert Galleron, who also designed the National Bank of

Romania, the Athenaeum was completed in 1888, financed almost entirely with money donated

by the general public. One of the preeminent public fundraising campaigns ever in Romania, the

"Give a penny for the Picture nr. - Romanian Athenaeum " campaign saved the project after the

original patrons ran out of funds. With its high dome and Doric columns, the Athenaeum

resembles an ancient temple.

The lobby has a beautifully painted ceiling decorated in gold leaf, while curved balconies

cascade in ringlets off a spiral staircase. A ring of pink marble columns is linked by flowing

arches where elaborate brass lanterns hang like gems from a necklace. Inside the concert hall,

voluptuous frescoes cover the ceiling and walls. Renowned worldwide for its outstanding

acoustics, it is Bucharest's most prestigious concert hall and home of the Romanian George

Enescu Philharmonic.



8

Old Historical Center of Bucharest (Centrul Vechi al Orasului)

Picture nr.8 & 9 – Old Historical Center

Picture nr.10 - Dancing in Lipscani Restaurant

Perhaps the city's unique charm can be best observed in the area known as Lipscani,

which consists of a jumble of streets between Victory Avenue, Blvd. Brătianu, Blvd. Regina

Elisabeta and the Dâmbovița River. A once-glamorous residential area, the old city centre is now

slowly being refashioned into an upscale neighborhood.

At the beginning of 1400s, most merchants and craftsmen - Romanian, Austrian, Greek,

Bulgarian, Serbian, Armenian and Jewish - established their stores and shops in this section of

the city. Soon, the area became known as Lipscani, named for the many German traders from

Lipsca or Leiptzig. Other streets took on the names of various old craft communities and guilds,

such as Blănari (furriers), Covaci (blacksmiths), Gabroveni (knife makers) and Cavafii Vechi



9

(shoe-makers). The mix of nationalities and cultures is reflected in the mishmash of

architectural styles, from baroque to neoclassical to art nouveau.

Today, the area is home to many art galleries, antique shops and coffeehouses. On a

beautiful day, you can stroll down the narrow cobblestone streets and imagine the shopkeepers

outside near their stores, encouraging people to buy their merchandise and negotiating prices

with them. Don't forget to stop by Hanul cu Tei, which is a rectangular courtyard between

Lipscani street and Blănari street, home to an array of art and antiques shops.

1.2 Sighișoara

Sighișoara General Information

Location: Central Romania (Mureș county)

Size: 3 sq. miles (7.12 sq. kilometers)

Elevation: 1,140 ft. (250 meters)

Population: 32,287 (2002)

Inhabited since: 6th century BC

First documented: 1280 AD

Founded by Transylvanian Saxons

during the 12th century, Sighișoara

(Schassburg in German) still stands as one of

the most beautiful and best-preserved

medieval towns in Europe. Designated as a Picture nr.11 – Sighișoara Citadel Map

World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this perfectly intact 16th century gem with nine towers,

cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches rivals the historic streets of Old Prague or

Vienna for atmospheric magic. It is also the birthplace of Vlad Dracula, also known as Vlad

Țepeș (Vlad the Impaler), ruler of the province of Walachia from 1456 to 1462. It was he who

inspired Bram Stoker's fictional creation, Count Dracula.



10

His house is just one of the many attractions here. Others include the Church on the Hill

with its 500-year-old frescoes, the 13th century Venetian House and the Church of the

Dominican Monastery, known for its Transylvanian renaissance carved altarpiece, baroque

pulpit, Oriental carpets and 17th century organ.

Sighișoara's citadel was built in the 12th century, when it was known as Castrum Six

(Fort Six), and was further strengthened and extended in the 15th century. The name must have

existed long before, as the Saxons built their walled town on the ruins of a former Roman

fortress. In 1298, the town was mentioned as Schespurch, while in 1367 it was called Civitas de

Seguswar. The name of Sighișoara was first noted in a written document issued by Vlad Dracul,

Vlad the Impaler's father, in 1431.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the economic growth recorded by Sighișoara's

industrious craftsmen and tradesmen ensured financial means for the construction of a strong

defense system provided with 14 towers and several bastions provided with gunnery directed

to all four cardinal points. Each tower was built, maintained and defended by a craft guild.

Among the most striking is the 14th century Clock Tower. This tower controlled the main gate

of the half-mile-long defensive wall and stored the city's treasures.

Sighișoara was not the biggest or richest of the seven Saxon walled citadels* in

Transylvania, but it has become one of the most popular. A walk through the town's hilly streetswith their original medieval architecture, magical mix of winding cobbled alleys, steep

stairways, secluded squares, towers, turrets and enchantingly preserved citadel, is like stepping

back in time.

* The seven walled citadels populated by the Saxons of Transylvania were known in German as

the Siebenbürgen.

The other Siebenbürgen citadels were: Bistrița (Bistritz), Brașov (Kronstadt), Cluj (Klausenburg),

Mediaș (Mediasch), Sebeș (Mühlbach), Sibiu (Hermannstadt).

City Landmarks

Sighișoara's Citadel

(Cetatea Sighișoarei)

Picture nr.12 – Sighișoara Citadel

For several centuries, Sighișoara was a military and political stronghold. During the 14th

- 16th centuries, the Saxon and Magyar craft guilds erected towers around the citadel walls to

protect the town from Turkish raids. Laid out on two to four levels, the towers stored

ammunition and food supplies and were provided with firing windows for cannons, shells and

arrows. Of the original fourteen towers and five artillery bastions, nine towers and two bastions

have survived the test of time.

You can still spot the Blacksmiths' Tower (Turnul Fierarilor), Butchers' Tower(Turnul

Măcelarilor), Cobblers' Tower (Turnul Cizmarilor), Furriers' Tower (Turnul Cojocarilor),

Ropemakers' Tower (Turnul Franghierilor), Tailors' Tower (Turnul Croitorilor), Tanners' Tower

(Turnul Tabacarilor) and Tinsmiths' Tower (Turnul Cositorilor). The ninth tower still standing is

the Clock Tower itself.



12

The Citadel Square

(Piața Cetăț ii)

Picture nr.13 & 14 – The Citadel Square Sighișoara

This quaint small square lies at the heart of the citadel. In the old days, street markets,

craft fairs, public executions and witch trials were held here. From this square, you can easily

access the main attractions of Sighișoara.

The Clock Tower

(Turnul cu Ceas)

Adddress: Citadel Square

Open: Tue. - Sun. 9:00am - 4:00pm; Closed Mon.

Picture nr.15, 16 & 17 – The Clock Tower Sighișoara



13

Sighișoara's main point of attraction is the Clock Tower, also known as the Council

Tower, built in the second half of the 14th century and expanded in the 16th century. The four

small corner turrets on top of the tower symbolized the judicial autonomy of the Town Council,

which could apply, if necessary, the death penalty.

After a fire in 1676 when the town's gunpowder deposits located in the Tailors' Tower

exploded, Austrian artists rebuilt the roof of the tower in its present baroque style and in 1894,

colorful tiles were added.

In the 17th century, a two-plate clock, with figurines carved from linden wood, was set

at the top of the tower, with one dial looking over the Lower Town (Orașul de Jos), and the

other facing the citadel (cetate in Romanian, burg in German). The figurines, moved by the

clock's mechanism, each represent a different character. On the citadel side we see Peace

holding an olive branch, accompanied by a drummer who is beating the hours on his bronze

drum; above them are Justice, with a set of scales, and Law, wielding a sword, accompanied by

two angels representing Day and Night. At 6 am, the angel symbolizing the day appears,

marking the beginning of the working day and at 6 pm, the angel symbolizing the night comes

out carrying two burning candles, marking the end of the working day.

The dial overlooking the Lower City features a set of seven figurines, each representing

the pagan gods who personified the days of the week: Diane (Monday), Mars (Tuesday),Mercury (Wednesday), Jupiter (Thursday), Venus (Friday), Saturn (Saturday)and the Sun

(Sunday).

The spire of the tower ends in a small golden sphere. At the top, there is a

meteorological cock, which, turned around by air currents, forecasts the weather.
