Gorj County Prefecture

The building sits on the site of a demolished prison and several private lots.

Designed by Petre Antonescu, it was originally the city hall.

A telephone network was installed in 1904, while a clock was mounted in the tower in 1905.

In 1968, when Gorj County was reintroduced, the wings were torn down while new office space was added in the rear.
