Places linked to a character to visit Romania

This is the house where the great Romanian historian and politician Nicolae Iorga lived between 1876 and 1880. You will find a large number of books, manuscripts, diplomas obtained in the most prestigious European universities (Sorbonne, Cambridge...), as well as photographs of the scientist, at various periods of his life. The interiors, typical of the period, illustrate the modest means available to his family, but also his illustrious ancestry.

The Villa Luminiş was built in 1926 by the famous Romanian composer George Enescu. It is now transformed into a memorial house in his honour. This superb Romanian-inspired building, whose name evokes celestial light, housed the violinist until 1946. He liked to spend the summer there, away from the bustle of Bucharest. While listening to Enescu's works, one goes from room to room to admire the refined living environment of the artist, his piano, old photos, beautiful furniture and art objects of various styles.
