.When King Carol I of Romania (1839–1914), under whose reign the country gained its independence, first visited the site of the future castle in 1866, he fell in love with the magnificent mountain scenery. In 1872, the Crown purchased 5 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi) of land near the Piatra Arsă River. The estate was named the Royal Estate of Sinaia. The King commissioned the construction of a royal hunting preserve and summer retreat on the property, and the foundation was laid for Peleș Castle on 22 August 1873. Several auxiliary buildings were built simultaneously with the castle: the guards' chambers, the Economat Building, the Foișor hunting lodge, the royal stables, and a power plant. Peleș became the world's first castle fully powered by locally produced electricity.The first three design plans submitted for Peleș were copies of other palaces in Western Europe, and King Carol I rejected them all as lacking originality and being too costly. German architect Johannes Schultz won the project by presenting a more original plan, something that appealed to the King's taste: a grand palatial alpine castle combining different features of classic European styles, mostly following Italian elegance and German aesthetics along Renaissance lines. Works were also led by architect Carol Benesch.[2] Later additions were made between 1893 and 1914 by the Czech architect Karel Liman, who designed the towers, including the main central tower, which is 66 metres (217 ft) in height. The Sipot Building, which served as Liman's headquarters during the construction, was built later on. Liman would supervise the building of the nearby Pelișor Castle (1889–1903, the future residence of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania), as well as of King Ferdinand's villa in the Royal Sheepfold Meadow.The cost of the work on the castle undertaken between 1875 and 1914 was estimated to be 16,000,000 Romanian lei in gold (approx. US$ 120 million today). Between three and four hundred men worked on the construction. Queen Elisabeth of the Romanians, during the construction phase, wrote in her journal:Italians were masons, Romanians were building terraces, the Gypsies were coolies.

.O zi (mă rog, câteva ore) la cules de zmeură. Iar la final, sifon rece cu sirop de zmeură. Ce mai, totul despre zmeură 😅🤤.Mulțumim, @deliciumjamssyrups !

.Oriunde merg, mai ales în locurile foarte des “pozate”, încerc să găsesc acele unghiuri care să aducă o perspectivă nouă asupra locului.De multe ori, găsesc poziții unde nu e deloc greu să ajungi, dacă te abați puțin de la traseul obișnuit al tuturor vizitatorilor.Sighișoara oferă o mulțime de astfel de surprize, literalmente după aproape fiecare colț, cum se spune.Știi unde anume, în cetatea Sighișoara, e făcută această fotografie?
