Galați County Prefecture

On the one hand, there is a suggestion of Venetian style in the façade, with its tall pointed windows and crenellations; Galați itself was the country's main port at the time.

On the other hand, traditional Romanian shapes such as buttons, discs and crested larks decorate the rooftop.

Among the materials used are stone from Câmpulung, Ruse, Vratsa and Trieste; rubble masonry for the basement; brick from Buzău and Galați; pine shelves; tile and mosaic floors; stone and oak stairs.

Two white marble sculptures by Frederic Storck, Industry and Agriculture, adorn the upper part of the main facade.

There are crystal mirrors mounted alongside the monumental main staircase, which has a finely decorated balustrade.
