• The Sutzu palace was built between 1833-1835 by two austrian
architects Johann Veit and Conrand Schwink. The owners wereGrigore and Irina Sutzu. This family (greek origin) was one of themost important familys from the high society in the 19th century.They came in the romanian provinces during the second haft of the18th century. Members of the family ruled in Moldavia and inValahia. The garden was fabulous, large with exotic birds andfountains. Karl Stork decorated the interior by dividing in threearches, by creating the monumental steers and the frame of theVenetian mirror with the portrait of Irina Sutzu above. The vaultdecorations presents elements of neoclasical inspiration. Themirros reflects the real image of the clock. The watch was made inParis especial for the Sutzu Palace. After Constantin Sutzu thepalace passed on to various owners. It became the headquarter of the Chrissoveloni Bank, Cec and Bucharest Municipiality’s City Hall.

Modern epoch begans for Romanian people with 1821 revolution led by Tudor
Vladimirescu (emancipation from under the Ottoman domination), gaining theindependence in 1877 and Union of Principalities in 1959 setting up for the
monarchy. In this century Bucharest it was called „Little Paris”, because of the
western aspect of the town. Many important public and private buidings were
constructed by the foreign arhitects and the modernization of the state
institutions. We have a image with the great fire by Moustakoff when 1800houses burned. Next to it we have Manuc’s inn where the merchants were selling
their goods. They sained peace treatise (tratatul) when we lost the basarabian
teritory in 1812. Also we have few royal ceremial objects. The first type of
pavement of todays Calea Victoriei was made of wooden grinders. Afterwards
(later on) it was paved with cubic stones (1864).

Further on we have maps and documents that attest the problems
created by the Dambovita river. Drinkable water was a very big
problem for the population. At the beging of the 20th century thedrinkable water was brought from the Bragadiru village by pipes. The
building of the sewerige sistem was promoted by the mayor Pache
Protopopescu. The town illumination was an important concern for
the citizens and it evolved from street lamps with candels to petrol
lamps (Bucharest was the first town in the world iluminated withpetrolium in 1857), gas and finally electricity in 1882. Royal Palace,
the National Theatre and the Cismigiu Public Garden were the first
iluminated with electricity.
