I endeavor through this daily series of daily articles to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural heritage.

    • Amazing Cheryl, what you are saying about the Inca motif is just what I thought of it and was shy to articulate for this artefact located in the Balkans, so far away from the Inca places!… It looks that the Art Deco style was indeed a truly international style and Inca, Maya and other Mezoamerican themes and motifs found their way into apparently unlikely places such as this corner of the former Ottoman Empire. Cheers, Valentin
