The CEC Palace in Bucharest, Romania, built in 1900 and situated on Calea Victoriei opposite the National Museum of Romanian History, is the headquarters of the national savings bank C.E.C., nowadays called CEC Bank.
The palace was built as a new headquarters for Romania's oldest bank, the public savings institution Casa de Depuneri, Consemnațiuni și Economie, later known as C.E.C. (Romanian: Casa de Economii și Consemnațiuni). The land was bought and the building constructed with the institution's own funds. Work started on June 8, 1897 and was completed in 1900. The project was designed by the architect Paul Guttereau, a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris; construction was supervised by the Romanian architect Ion Socolescu.
After 106 years of service, the building was deemed no longer fit for modern banking and was therefore sold for €17.787 million to the municipality of Bucharest to be used as a museum. Although no longer open to CEC clients, the bank continues to rent the building as its headquarters until a suitable replacement is found or built.

Romanian Savings Bank Palace (CEC Palace) was completed in 1900 after the design made by the french architect, Paul Gottereau and supervised by the Romanian architect Ion Socolescu.
Before the construction of the palace here was a church demolished in 1875 and an inn.
The palace was built in the eclectic style and it has an impressive glass and metal dome in the center which allows natural light to flow inside and 4 small domes on each corner of the building. The entrance in the palace with its facade reminds the viewer about the Petit Palais from Paris.
It's the headquarter of CEC Bank (the former state savings bank). Acrosss the street we find The National Museum of Romanian History and The Old Center area. Source: www.bucharestcomfort.com/
