Vlad Tepes Castle was built in 1906, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the reign of King Carol I, and was a small-scale reproduction of Vlad Tepes Castle in Poienari, Arges County.

The castle had several functions, being in turn a headquarters for a military unit, dormitories for workers and a sub-unit of gendarmes, which fulfilled the security of several banks in the capital. Since September 2004, it has become the headquarters of the National Hero's Office.

The imposing building, declared an architectural monument, was built in Neo-Brancoveanu style after the renowned architect Victor Ştefanescu at the beginning of the 20th century and was originally intended for the hosting of the Geological Institute. Carol I signed the Royal Decree of Establishing the Institute in 1906, an act that can be seen, in the original, even in the entrance hall of the museum. A century ago, besides the research carried out here, there were also collections of rocks and minerals that could be visited by the public - an incipient museum organized in the "Elections" section on the ground floor.

The attempt to organize a museum was forbidden by bombing and earthquakes, culminating in 1977, when the building was severely damaged, collections being temporarily moved to another building. Restoration and consolidation work began only in 1983, with a project that, without affecting the original style, corresponded to the idea of ​​a museum, open collections, accessible to a large audience.

The restoration of the building was made, starting from the photographs of the era, except for the Library Hall, which had solid oak furniture up to the ceiling (12 m tall!) And a spiral staircase leading to the balcony surrounding the room as a bra. The official opening of the Geological Museum was finally made in April 1990. Currently, the museum is a section of the Geological Institute of Romania, and the people who work here are mostly geologists.

The Parliament Palace or the People's House is one of the most impressive buildings in the world, being the second largest Pentagon. The building was built in record time between 1983 and 1989, and since the inauguration has remained the most controversial building in Romania. For many, the People's House represents a monstrous monument of communism, but for others it is a reason for Romanian pride.

After the fall of the communist regime in December 1989, the People's House was to be demolished by dynamite, symbolizing the period of the Cubist dictatorship. The building was, however, designed and built with many sacrifices from the entire people, who lived during that time of famine and cold. Many have thought to turn the building into a museum of communism or casino.

The Parliament Palace has 1100 rooms, of which 440 are offices, over 30 halls and salons, 4 restaurants, 3 libraries, a concert hall and 2 underground parking lots. All the materials used for building the building are Romanian. Stone, marble and wood have been brought from all over the country, and brocades, tapestries and carpets have been made specifically for the building's premises.
