Dear sports fans,
Your presence in Bucharest for a sports event should not be combined only with the classic sights. The Romanian capital is famous for its culture and concerts.
The Romanian Athenaeum is a building of unparalleled beauty that has an impressive Baroque dome.
It is the “arch” of Bucharest, because it now houses the Concert Hall.
We would recommend you to enjoy a wonderful concert or a performance in the impressive building of 1888.
Experience the wonderful acoustics and the magic that the interior of the building will offer you.
You will see red velvet and unimaginably beautiful frescoes that reach the ceilings and you will not see them anywhere else in the world.
What many may not know is that the Romanian Athenaeum was built on the foundations of an old American circus. That is why it has a circular shape.
The building was severely damaged during World War II, but the proud Romanians did not want to lose their cultural heritage.
With donations and the passion of the residents of Bucharest, a radical reconstruction was carried out, resulting in the creation of the magnificent vaulted ceiling of the main hall.
If you want to see a show or a concert during your stay in Bucharest, then visit the Romanian Athenaeum’s website to check the calendar.
