Local history and culture Romania

This village on the road to Ploieşti owes its name to the great Romanian playwright (1852-1912), whose birthplace he was. It is, of course, that a small exposure to his memory is presented.

They are about twenty kilometers southwest of Hațeg, in the direction of Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, past the villages of Râu de Mori and Suseni. The ^15th-century church is interesting for its exterior architecture. A few minutes' walk further on, you can visit the ruins of the citadel, dating from the ^14th century, which dominate the Râușor valley and the Retezat mountains. They are said to have inspired Jules Verne to write his novel Le Château des Carpates.
