Peleș Castle, nestled in the Carpathian Mountains near Sinaia, is one of Europe’s most enchanting royal residences. Built in the late 19th century for King Carol I, this Neo-Renaissance masterpiece dazzles with its fairy-tale towers, intricate wood carvings, and opulent interiors adorned with fine art, stained glass, and crystal chandeliers. Surrounded by lush forest and mountain scenery, the castle exudes elegance and grandeur at every turn. Each room reveals a different artistic style, reflecting royal taste and European craftsmanship. Visiting Peleș Castle feels like stepping into a living museum of royal history and timeless architectural beauty—a true Romanian treasure.

The beginnings of the Sinaia Monastery, an Orthodox Christian place of worship, around which the town of Sinaia was formed, were at the end of the 17th century. Its founder, Spătarul Mihail Cantacuzino, named it Sinaia after the name of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai - Egypt. The large church of the monastery was built in 1843-46 and is dedicated to "St. Trinity". At the beginning of the 20th century, the construction was modified to have the architecture we see today. It should be noted that during the period when Romania was a kingdom, from the beginning until 1947, the royal house of Romania frequented this church. This explains the fact that on the western wall there are paintings of King Charles I and Queen Elizabeth with their first daughter.
