What to expect
You will get an introduction into Bucharest history and beginnings by seeing the oldest buildings in Bucharest.
Bucharest roots lies in a trading background, two centuries ago, one in four buildings in the old city center was a caravan-serai, today only three of them remain and this is one of them.
A century ago this was the financial district of Bucharest, you will be surrounded by the National Bank, the former Stock Exchange, The Palace of Trading and Commerce along with many other state and private banks.
90% of the Romanian people are Christian Orthodox and still we are quite a religious country, this monastery is and iconic monument which represents very well the features of the Orthodox heritage and architecture.
You will be standing in front of what is considered to be, probably the best old architecture in Bucharest, let's find out why the oldest buildings in Bucharest are quite new and how the city was remodeled and shaped during it's 600 years of existence.
