CEC Palace

Before the construction of the palace, the location was occupied by the ruins of a monastery (Saint John the Great) and an adjoining inn.

The palace was built as a new headquarters for Romania's oldest bank, the public savings institution Casa de Depuneri, Consemnațiuni și Economie, later known as C.E.C.

(Romanian: Casa de Economii și Consemnațiuni), and nowadays CEC Bank.

The four corners are decorated with gables and coats of arms and ending in Renaissance domes.
