Curtea Veche, or the Old Princely Court, in Bucharest, Romania, is a historic site dating back to the 15th century. It was established by Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula, and served as the residence of Wallachian princes. The remains of the palace complex include sections of the old walls, arches, and cellars, offering a glimpse into medieval architecture and the history of Bucharest. Adjacent to the ruins is the Old Princely Church, the oldest religious building in Bucharest, which still stands as a testament to the city's rich historical heritage.
