ATHÉNÉE ROUMAIN

Pop rock and variety concert hall
4.7/5
• 3 reviews

Designed by French architect Albert Galleron and inaugurated in 1888, this is one of the city's most beautiful buildings. Topped by a vast dome and featuring a neoclassical façade, the Romanian Athenaeum evokes an Ionic temple. The large concert hall is adorned with a monumental fresco depicting the main scenes in the country's history, from Trajan's conquest of Dacia to independence in 1877. Today, the Athenaeum is home to the George Enescu Philharmonic. Whether or not you're planning to attend a show, the venue is well worth a visit.
