Splalul Independentei 5
Romania's supreme court is housed in a monumental but rather run down building on the banks of the Dambovita. Dating from 1890, the Palace of Justice was designed by Romanian architect Adrian Ballu in the style of the French renaissance. The once impressive facade is almost 100 metres long. After years of neglect (though it remains in constant use), many of the building's windows are broken, and what shoud be one of the architectural highlights of the city is in fact something of an eyesore, and will remain so until much needed repairs are carried out.
