Archeologists confirmed human presence of inhabitants since 400 BC. The first written record of it is found in a document from the court of "Mircea cel Batran" (Mircea the Elder) and dated 1408. Vlad Tepes is believed to be killed here by the Janissaries during a battle between Wallachia & Ottoman forces.


"Palatul brancovenesc Mogosoaia" - Brancoveanu Palace, Mogosoaia (built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brancoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brancovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements). The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogos, who owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco. The Palace had been given to Marthe by her husband, George Bibesco, who later also deeded the land to her. She spent all her wealth from the many books she wrote in its reconstruction and it became the meeting place for politicians and international high society, a quiet retreat during the growing turmoil of the 1930s.
