Transcript Sculptural Ensemble of Constantin Brâncuşi

ROMANIA
Targoviste, first attested in 1396, in the Travel
Accounts of Johannes Schiltberger, became the
capital of the Wallachian voivodship, probably
during the reign of Mircea cel Batran, when the
Royal Court was built. Vlad III Dracula later
added the Chindia Tower, now a symbol of the
city. In 1597 Mihai Viteazul fought and won a
decisive battle against the Ottoman Empire in
Târgovişte.
Târgovişte was the site of the trial and execution
of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena in
Bran
Castle
Bran Castle (German: Törzburg), situated near Bran and in
the immediate vicinity of Brasov, is a national monument
and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the
border between Transylvania and Wallachia and its myths
say that it was once the home of Vlad Tepes, ruller of
Wallachia. The castle is now a museum open to tourists,
displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
Tourists can see the interior individually or by a guided tour.
Sucevita Monastery
Suceviţa is the largest and also the last built of the painted
monasteries of Bucovina. It was built in 1581 by the Bishop of
Rădăuţi, Gheorghe Movila. It is situated in the village of the same
name in the foothills of the Carpathians west of Rădăuţi. The
monastery is surrounded by thick, fortified walls built by the Voievod
Ieremiah Movila, brother of Bishop Gheorghe. Both the Movila
brothers are buried at the monastery.
Sucevita Monastery was first inhabited by monks in 1582. During the
communist era, only nuns over 50 were allowed to stay at Sucevita.
Today it is a nun monastery, the sisters living a simple life in daily
prayers, and growing their land. The museum of the monastery holds
precious objects, among which manuscripts and embroideries
donated by the Movila family.

St. Ana Lake
At 946 m high, Saint Ana Lake is the only
Romanian lake which has a volcanic origin. It
has an easel shaped form. Almost distilled,
the water is considered to be the purest in
this world, but because of its leak in mineral
salts, it is not drinkable.
