Mogosoaia Palace
The
palace built by Constantin Brancoveanu is situated on the bank of the Mogosoaia
Lake and it was finished in 1702. The whole palace it is like an exhibition,
because inside you can see on the walls all the valuable Brancoveanu`s and
Bibescu`s family paintings. Between 1842-1848, the palace was reconstructed from
the ruler Gheorge Bibescu. They used some materials from the others
Brancoveanu`s houses: from Potlogi and from the palace from Mitropoliei`s Hill.
In 1920, Martha Bibescu arrived at Mogosoaia Palace and she will renovate the
palace again. You can notice here the garden that is in Italian style with all
that beautiful flowers and the whole park.
We will introduce you to the aristocratic life of
the good old times, when young princesses and princes were walking and chatting
in the parks, or when the major sports events pompous balls took place here.
Both the balcony and the first floor rooms had been initially adorned with
oriental stucco and mural paintings representing either members of the princely
family historical themes. On the facade overlooking the lake there is a
wonderfull "loggia" of Venetian inspiration, with three cusped
archades. Its rich adornment joins together stylistic elements characteristic
both of the Renaissance and the Baroque.
