The Iulia Hasdeu Castle
In
Prahova Valley, ninety kilometres from Bucharest, there exists a picturesque
settlement, Câmpina. A place bestowed by God with more numerous sunny
days in a year than any other area in Romania. Over the past years and
centuries, it's beauty has attracted many personalities, many of whom have
settled here permanently, leaving remarkable works of heritage to prosperity:
the painter Nicolae Grigorescu, whose house has now become a museum and
the writer/scientist Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu who, following the premature
death of his daughter, has built a castle to immortalise Iulia Hasdeu's
name.
