Amazing architecture with King Carol magnificent statue right in front. Majestic building. There are bikes for rental if you want to shorten your tour in city with bicycles.
Beautiful and old library, didn't come inside because I wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather. There is a place to rent a bile just in front of it.
The statue of King Carol I stands proudly in the middle of the Palace Square, in front of the beautiful building bearing on the frontispiece the King’s name: “Fundatiunea Universitara Carol I”, “Carol I University Foundation”. Preoccupied with increasing the quality of education at all levels, in 1891, with the occasion of 25 years of his reign, King Carol I decided to create a library to be used by university students. “Choosing Ourselves the place of the future building, We wanted it to rise close to Our residence, under Our eyes and protection” The King revealed in a letter addressed to the Prime Minister (“alegând Noi Înşine locul viitoarei clădiri, am vroit ca ea să se ridice aproape de reşedinţa Noastră, sub ochii şi sub ocrotirea Noastră”). The King and the Queen personally donated a large part of the initial book endowment of the library. The Library was heavily damaged during the events of the December 1989 Revolution, when the roof was engulfed by fire. Thousands of manuscripts and rare books of inestimable value perished. Rehabilitation of the building and of the damaged books, records and collections lasted more than 10 years, and the official reopening took place in 2001.The building houses today the Central University Library of Bucharest, a cultural institution of European level.
The Central University Library of Bucharest is a library in central Bucharest, located across the street from the National Museum of Art of Romania. It was created in 1864, there was no Central University Library; this role was played by the Central station library of Bucharest until 1865. The present Central University Library was founded in 1895 as the Carol I library of the University Foundation. It was built by kind\Carol I of Romania\ for the\ Carol University Foundation\.
interesting
Probably on of the best Romanian library with a lot of offers, from books to periodicals, an entire collection of a very good education. Warm people, very nice and polite. The building was damaged on the days of revolution against communism, in December 1989, but it was rearranged some years after and now everything looks amazing!
