Photographer’s Note

This is an inside picture of Mogosoaia Palace.
Mogoşoaia Palace is situated about 10 kilometres from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu, the voivode of Romanian Country, in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoş, who owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco.

Very recently the palace have been renewed and has a very nice and interesting interior.
Presently houses a museum and an art gallery. (Muzeul de Artă Brâncovenească) and attracts many tourists.
