EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 1930s, showcasing the magnificent Peles Castle in Sinaia, Romania. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains, this Neo-Renaissance architectural masterpiece was commissioned by King Carol I and took over four decades to complete. The image captures the grandeur of Peles Castle's exterior with its intricate spires reaching towards the sky. The castle stands proudly on a mountainside, surrounded by lush grounds that add to its enchanting allure. It is no wonder that Sinaia became known as a playground for kings. The photograph transports us to an era when cinematography was still in its infancy and travel was more limited. It invites us to explore not only Romania's rich history but also its stunning natural beauty. As we gaze at this vintage vista, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling through these grounds or admiring the panoramic views from within. This print serves as a reminder of how architecture can blend seamlessly with nature, creating awe-inspiring landmarks that stand as testaments to human creativity and ambition. It is a testament not only to King Carol I's vision but also to Romanian heritage itself. As we appreciate this historical gem captured by an unknown photographer from "Tour of the World" let it inspire our own wanderlust and curiosity about other hidden treasures waiting to be discovered around the globe.
