Curtea Veche (the
Old Princely Court), built as a place or residence during the rule of
Vlad III Dracula in the
15th century, now operates as a museum in the centre of
Bucharest,
Romania. The residence was moved under the rule of
Radu cel Frumos, who moved the princely residence and the
Wallachian capital to Bucharest. In the
16th century Mircea Ciobanul rebuilt it completely and afterward it became the nucleus of the Bucharest, surrounded by the houses of traders and craftsmen.
Alexander Ypsilantis built a
new princely court in
1775 at
Dealul Spirii and the old one acquired its present name. In its current role as a museum, the palace and neighbourhood inspired
Mateiu Caragiale to write his novel
Craii de Curtea-Veche. It is also at the center of efforts to restore the historic center of Bucharest.
