Bucharest, Curtea Veche,The Princely Court - Vlad
An earlier post, about Targoviste, used the term, "Princely Court," for that location.
"Princely Court" is also used here, for Vlad's court location after moving the political center to Bucharest. See www.rotravel.com/romania/sites/tour/old.php.
The area is a combination of ruin and structures, but is in process of reconstruction. Its history is given at library.thinkquest.org/C0125971/media/english/Map/bucu. Excavations are ongoing.
Here are photos and a description - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtea_Veche. Good old Wikipedia.
