The capital of Romania, Bucharest

The capital of Romania, Bucharest, is located in the southeastern part of Romania, in the middle of the Wallachian Plain, on the banks of the Dâmbovița River, a tributary of the Danube. It is known as the "Little Paris". Bucharest is an ancient city with a long history, mentioned in historical documents for over 500 years. As early as 1459, during the period of the Romanian Principality, Bucharest was a fortress. In 1477, after the Romanian nation defeated the Turkish invasion, they named the castle on the banks of the Dâmbovița River Bucharest, meaning "City of Joy". The University of Bucharest is located in the capital of Romania, Bucharest. It is a prestigious comprehensive university in Europe, founded in 1864 by Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first prince after the unification of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia into Romania.
