2007110 Years Since the Foundation of the Romanian Savings Bank Palace - Souvenir Sheet

Romfilatelia, the company specialized in editing and trading Romanian postage stamps, introduces into circulation the philatelic issue 110 years since the Foundation of the Romanian Savings Bank Palace.

On the place where the monumental building of the Romanian Savings Bank Palace is built stood the famous Saint John the Great Monastery, a 16th century foundation of the Buzesti. Between 1702 and 1703, the ruler Constantin Brancoveanu restored it, thus becoming the last founder of the monastic institution. In time it was damaged and as a consequence, the monastery was demolished at the end of the 19th century.
