Muntenia
Bucharest, Romania's largest city and capital, is located in the province of Muntenia, also known historically as Wallachia.
North of Bucharest is the beautiful Prahova Valley, at the foothills of the Carpathians. The popular ski resorts of Predeal, Busteni and Sinaia are here; Sinaia is also home to the magnificent Peles Castle, built in 1883 for King Carol I.
West of Bucharest are the Curtea de Arges monastery, and the Olt Valley’s Cozia and Turnu monasteries near Ramnicu Valcea; also Horezu, a major pottery center. Farther west, Targu Jiu is home to sculptor Constantine Brancusi's masterpieces.
