  • History

Bucharest's history alternated periods of development.

Bucharest decline from the early settlements of the Antiquity and =>

until its consolidation as capital of Romania late in the 19th century

First mentioned as the "Citadel of București" in 1459

it became a residence of the Wallachian prince Vlad III the Impaler

The Old Princely Court (Curtea Veche) was built by Mircea Ciobanul

under subsequent rulers, Bucharest was established as the summer residence of the court

competing with Târgoviște for the status of capital

after an increase in the importance of southern Muntenia brought about by the demands of the suzerain power, the Ottoman Empire

Its centre

was developed

around the

Ulița Mare

The extravagant architecture

and cosmopolitan high culture

of this period won

Bucharest the nickname

of "The Paris of the East"

(or "Little Paris", Micul Paris),

with Calea Victoriei as its

Champs-Élysées.

Also, some of the

city's main landmarks

were built in this period,

including Arcul de Triumf and

Palatul Telefoanelor.
