Um pouco de história

The site originally housed a monastery founded in 1679 by Șerban Cantacuzino. In the 19th century, it became a royal palace for the Romanian monarchy, undergoing significant renovations. After the abdication of King Michael I in 1947, the palace was used for various purposes before being restored and opened as a museum in 1991.
