Comment

Mogoșoaia Palace (in Romanian: Palatul Mogoșoaia) is situated about 10 kilometres from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoș, who owned the land it was built on.

Interesting fact

The Mogoșoaia Palace gold coin, issued in 2002, features an intricate design that showcases the palace's architectural style, which is a blend of Brâncovenesc and Oriental influences. The coin's design also highlights the palace's historical significance, as it was built in the 17th century and served as a summer residence for the Wallachian princes. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
