There is no other building in Bucharest that holds that much history within its walls (except maybe the Old Court), than the former Royal Palace does. At the beginning of the 19th century, this area, which used to belong to the Kretzulescu family, was hosting the residency built by Dinicu Golescu between 1812 and 1815.
George Emil Palade was a famous Romanian cell biologist and physiologist whose work laid the foundations for modern cell biology. He won the 1974 Nobel Prize “for discoveries concerning the structural and functional organization of the cell”. He was a professor at the Rockefeller and Yale universities and founding member of the American Society for Cell Biology .
The North Western part of the Revolution Square is flanked by the imposing building which hosts the Central University Library.

Poet, translator, essayist, and lecturer, influenced by French surrealism and symbolism, Celan was born in Romania, he lived in France, and wrote in German. His parents were killed in the Holocaust; the author himself escaped death by working in a Nazi labor camp. "Death is a Master from Germany", Celan's most quoted words, translated into English in different ways, are from the poem 'Todesfuge' (Death Fugue).
I had found out about the lake dwellings near Bucharest by accident, while browsing through a biking magazine. The idea to go there came immediately. I was attracted by the mysticism of medieval style dwellings and of the legendary background of the Vlasiei Forest. The fact it was so close to Bucharest was even more motivating.
