The Palace of Justice, Bucharest, Romania.

The Palace of Justice, a captivating blend of history and architecture in Bucharest, stands as a symbol of justice. Constructed at the close of the 19th century during a period of economic growth post-independence, it shares significance with other iconic structures like the C.E.C. buildings, the Post Office, and the Athenaeum. King Carol I personally laid the foundation stone on October 7, 1890, adorned in a white apron with gold tassels, marking the beginning of this monumental edifice's construction. Positioned on the grounds where the Court of Justice operated during the Organic Regulation era, it replaced the estates of the Crețulești and Golești boyars on the right bank of the Dâmbovița River, specifically on the land within the garden of Brâncovean's "Small Palace."
