Bucharest, Happy Anniversary

September 22nd 2006 07:26

Capital of the Walachian and Moldavian region united under the name of the Romanian state since 1862, Bucharest celebrates for three days 547 from its first mentioning in an official document.

Vlad Tepes, also known as the Impaler or Dracula (let’s thank Bram Stocker for that), mentioned Bucharest in a letter dating from 1459. He built a fortress in Bucharest to hold back the Turks threatening the Walachian state. For more historical details, visit this link.

The event will be celebrated forthree days, graffiti, movies, concerts, theatre plays and medieval art being included in the program. More details in this Evenimentul Zilei article.
