Visit the stark and powerful location where Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu were tried and executed on December 25, 1989. The site includes the military tribunal room and the execution yard, preserved as part of a museum that offers a sobering look at the final days of Romania's communist regime. Your guide will provide historical context to help you understand the events leading up to this momentous turning point.
Stop 2: The Princely Court of Târgoviște.
Explore the remnants of a medieval stronghold that once served as the royal residence of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula). Discover the Chindia Tower, royal palace ruins, and orthodox churches that echo the grandeur of 15th-century Wallachia.
