 | Bucharest Palaces in Bucharest Reviews | 41 - 44 of 44 |  |
Construction started in 1905 and ended in 1911, with owner Dumitru Marinescu meaning the building to host a Palace of Culture for the employees of his beer brewery (Bragadiru Brewery). As he had grown up in poverty, he wanted to provide entertainment and fun for his employees. The palace consists of a wide, elegant ballroom, a library, shops on the ground floor, as well as a fine backyard. In 1948, the communist regime confiscated the property, and renamed it Lenin Culture House. The descendants of Marinescu got the building back in 2003. The building lies to the back of a still unfinished building which was meant for the Romanian Academy in 1989. It is not open for visitors, it is usually rented for weddings, parties and corporate events. Leave a Comment Address: 147-153 Calea Rahovei

The Palace of Justice was built between 1890 and 1895 in French Renaissance style. The main facade is dominated by six strong pillars and four statues (Law, Rightfulness, Justice and Truth) placed in special niches, while the other two (Strength and Prudence) lie on the sides of the clock. Inside the building there is the famous “Hall of the Lost Steps”, with a reference to those losing trials, this hall taking about one fourth of the whole surface. In 1985 President Ceausescu intended to have it demolished (at a certain point he wanted to move the institution to the new megastructure he was building on the former site of Vacaresti Monastery), as it spoiled the “great quarter” he was building to the South, as well as the “new Dambovita”; it is still unknown how it could survive. Leave a Comment Address: 4 Splaiul IndependenteiDirections: From Unirea Square take Dambovita River to the West; it is the first building on your left after the communist concrete apartment buildings.

 Cantacuzino Palace / George
Enescu Museum by Romanian_Bat, 4 more photos
On the first floor the balconies are guarded by great forged iron decorations, while the entrance is bordered by two lions. There are regular classical music concerts hosted by the palace (many of them being organized by the Polish Cultural Institute), and this is a good time to visit the building (for otherwise, the main hall of the palace is not included in the regular museum visit).
The museum is open between 10.00 and 17.00, closed on Mondays. Leave a Comment Address: 141 Calea Victoriei
