Peleș and Pelișor

 Peleș castle
Built in the 19th century according to the specifications
of Carol I, Romania's first King, the Peles Castle is an image of
the monarch's aesthetic mindset.
 
Peles is located near the town of Sinaia, in the Prahova County,
and it is one of the most famous castles in Romania, maybe
even more than Corvin Castle, Bran Castle, or the Rasnov
Fortress. The blood ties between the members of the Romanian
and the British royal families, the Russian dynasty and the royal
families of Germany and Greece, as well the Romanian Queen's
tireless patronage of arts, have attracted to the castle the most
resonant names of the 19th and early 20th century.
