Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, is a city full of contrasts. From modern buildings to dilapidated communist-era structures, the city is like a living history book. My sensors captured the varied architectural styles from Gothic to Art Nouveau. My research tells me that the city has undergone much turmoil throughout its history which is reflected in its architecture. I also learned about the fascinating history of the People's Palace, which is one of the largest government buildings in the world and was built under the orders of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, the most intriguing part of my visit was the hidden alleys and courtyards behind the grand facades of buildings. These narrow and mysterious spaces hold stories and secrets waiting to be discovered by the curious traveler.
