About

The Rusănescu House in Craiova is a historic architectural monument from the end of the 19th Century, located in the central area of the city, at the intersection between Ştirbei Vodă Boulevard and Calea Unirii. The House, belonging to the Craiova boyar Ştefan D. Rusănescu, is now known as the Marriage Registry Office and hosts several sections of the Community Public Service for the Evidence of Persons in Craiova (Civil Status, Tutelary Authority).

The Rusănescu House has a built area of 579 sqm with a height regime without basement, but with ground floor, upper floor and attic, and an interior courtyard. The house is a blend of styles, including features of Art Deco, late Baroque or Viennese style. At the exterior, there is a rich ornament around the entrances, windows and cornices, with decorative plaster made of cement mortar, an enclosed balcony above the main entrance and a skylight tin roof. Inside, the building features decorative panels on the walls and ceilings, painted in oil on the wall, and in oil on wood in the carpentry, an upstairs stained glass above the hallway and the stairwell, and a monumental staircase accessible through the secondary entrance (through the inner courtyard).
The house was restored in 1999, with the works being performed in order to rebuild interior finishing (paintings, stuccos in golden leaves, ceilings, mirrors and skylight).

The Popova Fountain in the Romanești district of Craiova is also known as the Basarabeşti Fountain. It dates back to the beginning of the 17th century, a fact confirmed by a document dating back to 1613. It was restored in 1651 by Matei Basarab (from whom it was also named Basarabeşti Fountain), and in the second half of the 18th century by Alexandru Ipsilanti. The fountain was built according to a square plan, each side having a niche, and on the southern and western sides there were two inscriptions, one with Latin letters and one with Cyrillic letters.

Swineherd`s Fountain (or the Elca Square Fountain) is a public monument in Craiova, located on Matei Basarab Street, no. 11. The water fountain is in Elca Square (The Old Square), the old downtown and commercial area of the city, near Puțureanu Inn and Bania House, the Cathedral of St. Dumitru and the ruins of Hurezi Inn. The fountain was built in 1818 by Pavel Teodor and Kir Marin Bulugbasa (or Miron Bulucbasa, according to other sources), pig merchants. Although initially the fountain was the only water supply for the inhabitants of the area, its importance diminished at the beginning of the 20th century, when Craiova was provided with water supply systems. Swineherd`s Fountain has been repaired several times in time, and the renovations turned the current form completely different from the original one. Source: www.monumenteoltenia.ro

Puţureanu Inn is a heritage building located in the old historical centre of Craiova, in the Old Square (Elca Square), near major monuments and tourist attractions - the former Central School of Girls (today the Oltenia Museum), Madona Dudu Church, Hurezi Inn , The Swineherd's Fountain, the St. Dumitru Cathedral and the Bania House. The edifice, erected by merchant Niţă D. Puţureanu, is a wonderful building with an architecture specific to 19th-century mansions, that unfortunately reached an advanced stage of degradation. Puţureanu Inn was set up and built by merchant Niţă D. Puţureanu, born in 1845 in a modest peasants family from Puţuri village-Dolj. Alcohol and tobacco business, lending, renting properties that they buy over time, turn him into one of the representatives of the great bourgeoisie of Craiova. At his death (in February 1910), the inn and the outbuildings remain in the care and administration of his son Mihail, lawyer, clerk and librarian at Dolj Bar. Despite the competition represented by the newer and more spacious hotels, offering luxurious facilities,like Minerva Hotel and Geblescu Hotel (Hotel New York), set up at the beginning of the 20th century, the inn was still in use until the First World War. After 1918, for 30 years, Mihail Putureanu rented his father's shops to various merchants and the inn's rooms to new tenants. In the spring of 1945, Red Army officers will occupy several apartments of the inn. The building was nationalized in 1950, following the Decree no. 92 regarding the nationalization of some buildings. In 1996, by court order, the former owners acquired the ownership of the building.
