Nestled at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains, Peles Castle is an amazing place to visit. It was worth the extra exorbitant photography fee I had to pay in order to be allowed to take photos of the interior of the castle. However, flash photography was not allowed.
Beautifully and carefully preserved, the castle looked absolutely exquisite. It felt like I walked onto a movie set of some medieval romantic fairy tale. This stunning piece of architecture was commissioned for construction by King Carol I.

The library, but only about 1,000 books were showcased here. There are actually about 10,000 books in their collection. The wife of King Ferdinand was highly intellectual and an avid reader. She was able to speak several foreign languages fluently.
The collection of arms and armour, of which they had over 4,000 pieces.
The table in the centre of the photo and the lounge set behind it took over eight centuries to carve and to be completed.

This is Pelisor Palace which sits round the bend to Peles Castle.
