Things to see and do Buzău

Struck by communist systematization, the central square (piața Dacia) is brightened up by the Italian-style town hall, built in 1904. Cuza Street Vodă, which starts to the right of the town hall, is lined with pretty houses in a variety of colours. The backbone of the city, the Unirii Boulevard is dedicated to road traffic and shops, while the Boulevard Bălcescu, which crosses it, connects Dacia Square to Crâng Park, the green lung to the west of the city. The main market, vast and colourful, is always very lively in the morning (strada Locotenent Godeanu).

It was built in 1500, when the city became an episcopal residence. In the first courtyard there is a theological seminary, built in 1838 in neoclassical style, and a small museum of cult objects and ancient icons. Through a large painted porch, you reach the inner courtyard, where the Episcopal cathedral of the Assumption, built in 1504 and rebuilt in 1649, stands. The Episcopal Palace, built in 1844, faces it. At the entrance to the complex, a vast church was built, destined to become the centre of local religious life.
