Craiova – The Heart of Oltenia
When man and nature meet together
The Romanescu Park from Craiova is one of the largest and most beautiful ones from Europe. The park was designed by a French architect, Emile Rendont, at the initiative of Nicolae Romanescu, the mayor of Craiova at the beginning of the XIXth century. There are still to be found nowadays the ruins of the old castle, as well as the bridge crossing over the lake in order to connect two of the hills. The Romanescu Park is also comprised of a velodrome, a stadium, a summer theatre, rare species of trees and plants, as well as a a large Zoo. Craiova has undergone an entire process of modernization lately in order to keep up pace with the other European cities. Therefore, in 2007, Craiova was endowed with an outstanding musical fountain which runs a show every evening on the chords of classical music.

I stay in Craiova_Romania for about 6 months.
It is absolutely beautiful.
I love to go for a walk in the center of town; every night they run the “musical fontain”
SUPERB!
