This is a rare architectural history find: an example of Neo-Romanian style public fountain. It is located in the courtyard of Buzau county court house, south-east Romania. The designer of the whole court assembly, built between 1909 – 1912, is the architect Petre Antonescu, the most prolific and one of the best Neo-Romanian style designers, whose origins are in the Buzau county area (born in the city of Ramnicau Sarat).

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

Am trecut in aceste zile caniculare (+++35*C) prin Gara de Nord si am
constatat ca in toata gara nu exista nici macar o sursa de apa potabila. O
tasnitoare ori o cismea. Nu ca nu curge apa ci fizic nu exista tasnitori ori
cismele.
Pentru ca sa se cumpere apa minerala de la chioscuri. Cu un pret cu 50% mai
mare decat pretul pietei.
In schimb gara este plina de tigani care vand telefoane mobile probabil
furate.
In fata garii fantana arteziana insa functioneaza.
In principala gara a capitalei unei tari membra e UE din 2007 nu e apa…
La fel si la Iasi si la Bacau.
La Buzau exista sursa de apa in gara iar orasul este plin de tasnitori care functioneaza.
M-a bucurat sa o vad si sa mi-o reamintesc pe cea din articolul dumneavoastra.
Am trecut ieri pe acolo si, da, functioneaza.
Felicitari edililor din Buzau!
