Patriarchate Palace in Bucharest ready for EUR 15 mln facelift
The century old Patriarchate Palace in Bucharest will undergo renovations worth some EUR 15 million. Owned by the Orthodox Church via the Romanian Patriarchy, the Palace, built in the beginning of the 20th century will be renovated by Aedificia Carpaţi, which won the bid earlier this year, according to the online public bids system e-licitatie.ro.
Work on the building will be financed with EU money via the Regional Operational Program.
In December 1989, the building was given to the Romanian Patriarchy, and since 2010, the building has been fully owned by the Patriarchy. The palace has four large halls for events, hosting between 50 and 900 people each, as well as five smaller rooms, and a reception hall for up to 400 people.
