The Savings Bank Palace
The Savings Bank Palace has been the headquarters of the oldest Romanian bank. The Deposit and Savings House is emblematic of the efforts of the political and economic elites to build the foundations of the public finances of the young Romanian state created after the Union of 1859. The Deposit House was set up in 1864, 16 years before the National Bank, being the first banking institution of the Romanian Principalities. The construction of a home worthy of its importance started in 1897, and King Carol I himself laid the cornerstone of the new building. The architect who designed the grandiose palace, Paul Gottereau, is one of the French architects active in the Kingdom of Romania in the late 19th century -he also designed the Carol I Royal Foundation’s building, today the University Library.

Caru cu Bere Restaurant
The legendary beer house was opened in the late 19th century by the Transylvanian-born Nicolae Mircea who previously had done his apprenticeship as a publican (or tavern-keeper) in Bucharest. He traveled to Bavaria to get inspiration from the Bavarian beer houses and made a deal to supply him with the beer with the Romanian industrialist Dumitru Marinescu “Bragadiru”, who had opened a brewery just a few years earlier. In quite a short time Caru’ cu Bere became popular for the good beer and for the famous Romanian “mititei” (sausage-shaped, spiced ground meat grilled over charcoals, typical to this country), being frequented by writers and actors of the time. The owner used to support the students who came from Transylvania by giving them every day a free meal.
Featuring a Romantic facade with Gothic medieval elements, Caru’ cu Bere delights with the carpentry, the frescoed walls, the gleaming brass and the stained glass windows of the interior, and is emblematic for the glittering Bucharest Belle
