羅馬尼亞 Romania: Sinaia,Peles Castle,Bucharest

Sinaia是距離Brasov不太遠的市鎮，是山區度假勝地。該鎮因Sinaia修道院而得名，而該名字則來自聖經中的西奈山。羅馬尼亞國王卡羅爾一世在該鎮附近建造了Peles夏天宮殿城堡。We visited Peles Castle, which is a Neo-Renaissance castle in the Carpathian Mountains near Sinaia on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia. It was the summer home of King Carol I of Romania (1866-1914). He defeated the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish War and secured Romanian independence. Pelisor Castle is nearby. We also visited Sinaia Monastery, built in 1695, which gave its name to the town of Sinaia.

Bucharest是羅馬尼亞的首都，參觀了世界第二大建築的國會皇宮, 他們仍然抱怨沒有足夠的空間。 我們還去了國家歷史博物館，看到在公元前5000年出土的黃金文物, 它還展示了Trajan's Column石膏模型（最後一幅圖顯示羅馬和達契亞人之間戰爭）。Bucharest is capital of Romania and called the "Paris of the East" which takes you to the replica of the French Arc de Triomphe. We visited the gigantic Parliament Palace, second-largest building in the world after the Pentagon in the U.S. They still complain that they don't have enough room. We also went to National History Museum, now undergoing extensive restoration work and only partially open, to see ourselves the gold artifacts unearthed as early as in 5000 BC in Romania. It also shows the Trajan's Column plaster casts of the relief taken in the 19th and 20th centuries (last picture shows the war between Romans and Dacians).
