Arriving at Mogosoaia after forty five minutes. Visit Mogosoaia Palace and afterwards departure to Snagov Monastery for a visit. The Palace of the Parliament, perhaps better known as the People´s Palace is the
second largest building in the world and the symbol of the Ceausescu era. Completed in 1989 and constructed of the best materials and craftsmanship that Romania could provide.
In fact, the export of marble, crystal and wood (all of it hand carved and cut) was forbidden since everything that could be produced was needed for the monument. You’ll
see plenty of grand staircases, marble plated halls and conference rooms as well as enjoying a fine view of central Bucharest from the balcony.
Mogoşoaia Palace is situated about 10 km from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian
Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoş, who
owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco. The Palace is now a popular tourist destination, but although the grounds and gardens are beautiful, the interior of the palace itself is under reconstruction and presently houses a museum and art gallery. (Muzeul de Artă Brâncovenească)
Snagov Monastery is placed on an isle on Snagov Lake, 40 km North to Bucharest.
Inside the monastery we can find the largest assembly of medieval frescoes from Wallachia, dating from the XVIth century.
