1. Well done, looks like built just recently 🙂

   Did the restauration take a long time? Over here, depending on the building’s condition, we’re talking about a decade (at least) for such projects.

2. This is known as Casa Mita Biciclista (the house of Mita the cyclist)

3. Foarte frumos!

4. The final picture makes it look evil

5. I hope Budapest is taking notes. So, so many old buildings deserve better. Looks great.

6. Wait, this is Mița Biciclista’s house, this building had been in great shape for a long time and it’s very popular in the winter too when it puts Christmas decorations. But yeah, the square wasn’t that way until recently.

7. Gorgeous!

8. As a Dutch person I am highly envious of this. We hardly have old buildings and the ones we have are very plain.

9. ’tis beautiful!

10. Gorgeous. Shoutout to Bucharest and Romania

11. Looks very nice! But as a Dutchman those red lights tell me something else

12. Among the architects I know there is so much disdain for ornament it’s crazy. But everywhere I go people love it, value it, are drawn to it. I don’t understand why those responsible for new buildings have seemingly lost touch with those who they’re building for. Glad that things like this can still happen.

13. The first picture is gorgeous.
