Casa Monteoru

Casa Monteoru is a historic building on Calea Victoriei in the center of Bucharest, built in 1874. Classified as a national historic monument, it housed the headquarters of the Romanian Writers' Union from 1949 to 2013. After a court ruling in 2013 returned the property to the heirs of the Monteoru family, who had lost the building under the communist regime, the estate was redeveloped. Today the house serves as a cultural meeting place and is home to the Grand Café de Bucharest. Visitors can dine and drink at a restaurant and a bar, while the building is also used for live music, exhibitions, and a variety of cultural events.
