Mihai Viteazul Square

Mihai Viteazul Square is the heart of Craiova, where history meets vibrant urban life. The square is surrounded by historic buildings, including the New Romanian-style Prefecture Palace and the former Palace Hotel from the early 20th century.

The centerpiece is a statue of Mihai Viteazul, a famous Romanian ruler, and artesian fountains add to the charm of the place.

It's an ideal place to take a stroll, photograph the beautifully lit buildings after dark or enjoy a local pastry from a nearby bakery. The square regularly hosts cultural events and festivals, serving as the cultural center of the city.
