Un po' di storia

Built in the early 19th century, the palace was expanded and renovated under King Carol I and later kings. It survived the 1989 Romanian Revolution, during which it was damaged by fire but later restored. It ceased being a royal residence after the monarchy was abolished in 1947 and became the National Museum of Art.
