The Palace was ordered by Nicolae Ceaușescu, the dictator of Communist Romania, and it was constructed between 1984-and 1997. Starting during the darkest period of communism, Ceausescu's mad dream became the largest building in Europe and the 2nd largest building in the world.

Ceausescu’s stained glass windows, demolished! Nicolae Ceausescu, the communist dictator, managed to leave something behind at Cozia Monastery, even if he visited it only once in his lifetime, not long after he became president. Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu’s portraits remained for some years in the museum of the monastery, together with the ones of the great rulers that have brought their contributions to the consolidation of the fortress. But before the Revolution, the stained glass windows representing Ceausescu and his wife were demolished and hidden in the attic of the monastery. The stained glass windows were brought there in 1986 from the District Museum. Ceausescu’s portrait could be seen together with the ones representing Romanian heroes and great kings. Before the Revolution, the Bishop of Arges came to the monastery with a delegation of English Lords and demanded that the portraits should be taken down. No one knew where they knew that a revolution was about to burst.

Visit Sibiu, a lovely medieval city where Romanians and Saxons have coexisted peacefully for centuries, and where various religious monuments (Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant) attest to this peaceful coexistence. Sibiu was named European Capital of Culture in 2007 and annually hosts an extraordinary theater festival. The city captivates visitors with its three squares (Big Square, Small Square, and Huet Square), which transport them into a truly medieval atmosphere. Its towers and 15th-century bastions, as well as its beautiful museums and the famous "houses with the eyes," provide visitors with memorable experiences. Sibiu also has one of the largest gothic evangelical churches in Transylvania.
