After leaving Bucharest behind, stop at the 17th century Potlogi Palace and courts, built by the Brancoveanu’s, one of the richest families in all of Europe during those years. It’s the quintessential example of the architectural style they patronized, which would later become known as “brancovan” (Romanian renaissance). Later on, visit the oldest capital of Wallachia, the setting of a spectacular monastery, which is not only featured on the Romanian bills, but is also tied to the oldest local oral poem, based on a widespread legend. The architectural complex is also the resting place for the last Romanian dynasty. In the evening, find out about the defensive role of the local nobility’s residences, called “cule”. Spend the night in the best renovated of them, cula Maldar. Be our guest for a memorable dinner.
