Popeci Sports Club has 4 clay tennis courts and 2 tennis courts with Green Set surface. These are suitable for all categories of players: from beginners to professionals, either children or adults. Popeci Club was founded in 2002 following a desire to offer employees an ideal place to relax. The beginnings were timid: a single football field. But demand was high, both inside the Popeci team and externally. Thus, the already built court was renovated and another tennis court was added. Then followed the second football field. But that wasn't enough. We then dared to dream more and we decided to create a sports complex in the true sense of the word. A massive investment followed and completely changed the former club, turning it into what it is today: 4 tennis courts, 2 tennis halls, a football field, a football hall, a fitness room and a small bar / cafe where people can socialize and enjoy the moments spent together. Our motto is that a person who practices any type of sports is a healthier, more balanced person, competitive and good at working with the team. What differentiates us on the local market is the possibility of playing more sports in the same place. Popeci Club is aimed at families and groups of friends who want to play sports together but have different preferences. Our private parking, the café and the changing rooms with showers are other facilities that we provide to those who come through our door. Passion and love for sports have always motivated us to move forward, and we will always support health achieved through practicing sports.

”Stănică” Tennis Club was established in 2010 out of love for sports and the desire to achieve great performance in tennis. The successful results obtained in this sport, the experience gained as professional players but also the experience acquired in the field of sports during college, are some of the reasons why the brothers Victor and Oana Stănică decided to create their own tennis club. Through specialized tennis courses we try to convey to children the joy of movement and especially how to learn to play tennis. Although it is an individual game, it should be practiced at the beginning in groups of children who are permanently selected according to different criteria: age, physical development, level of training attained, individual motivations (tennis practiced for health, to participate in competitions or to obtain performances ), etc. The size of these groups starts from 4-6 children at initiation level, 3-4 children at advanced level and after the age of 10 a mixed training system is practiced: both in groups of 3-4 children but also in groups of 2 children or individually, the proportion of individual workouts or in groups of two being lower for children aged 10-11 and gradually increasing until the age of 14. After the age of 14, the preparation becomes predominantly an individual one, whether it is done with a coach or with another athlete as sparring partner. Stănică Tennis Club aims to create a large selection base, to be able to convey the love and beauty of this sport with minimal expenses from families. In this regard, it organizes promotional selection actions on a quarterly basis. The training takes place at the sports complex in Viitorului Street, at no. 24C. The goal of the club is to discover talented athletes, to teach them tennis and to help them become winners and champions. “We have set up our own club to be able to create and develop an effective training system for athletes, meant to lead to achieving performance, a system based on the experiences gained over the years as a coach or as an athlete. We are sure that we will succeed, the question whose answer remains unknown and we will only be able to answer in years from now: how many champions will we discover and how long will they be able to remain at the top? It is a long, hard but beautiful road, we have patience and we believe that in a short time the club will start to grow in terms of the number of athletes and results that will be obtained, number of coaches and members, but also in terms of sponsorship opportunities for talented athletes."

Bania House, a monument of medieval architecture and the oldest civil building in Craiova, was built in the late fifteenth century by the Craioveşti noblemen and it was rebuilt in 1699 by the prince martyr Constantin Brancoveanu. From the initial construction done by Craioveşti only part of the cellar is preserved. In the midst of history, the old foundation was burned many times, it passed through different dominations and administrations and "suffered" architectural changes, additions and deletions according to their needs. Thus, between 1718 - 1739, in Baniei House is based the austrian administration, which strengthens it for defense. In 1750, the building is transferred by ruler Grigore Ghica to the Diocese of Râmnic. Since 1850, the building became headquarters for various institutions of the city: Craiova’s Court, Buzeşti Brothers’ High School, the Local Seminar, the State Archives. Since 1933, the building will house the Museum of Oltenia until 1948, when its use is switched to the Metropolitan Church of Oltenia. Since 1966, the old brancovenian architectural monument hosts the Department of Ethnography from the Museum of Oltenia.

Built between 1898 and 1907 in the middle of a city caught in the fever of the innovations of the early twentieth century, the Mihail Palace stands out by the execution details that have the distinction of a meticulously crafted jewellery. Thus, it reflects the exigencies and social status of one of the richest men of that time, and the ambition and the spirit of competition which helped him make a fortune. So, as Gh. Grigore Cantacuzino, nicknamed the "Nabob", in Bucharest and the royal advisor Vălimărescu, across the street, assigned the building of their houses to the famous architect Albert Galleron who had also made the projects of other important buildings in the Kingdom - the Romanian Athenaeum, Constantin Mihail could accept nothing less for himself. He contracted another famous name at the time, Paul Gottereau - the architect of the Royal Court and the creator of the Royal Palace, of the Palace of the "Carol I" University Foundation, the CEC Palace etc. Reflecting on the prevailing trend of the time, that of an eclecticism which successfully combined the rigor of the French academicism with late Baroque elements, the plan of the construction has many similarities with the plan of the Cheverny Palace in the Loire Valley, recognized as an example of architectural balance and elegance. The exterior details and the ornaments on the facade, the window frames and the ironwork of the balconies, prepare the viewer's eye for the exquisite grandeur hidden inside. In the hall of honour, in the reception lounges and in the music room, in the living rooms, but also in all other areas not necessarily having a specific destination for social events, the building materials were of the highest quality: Carrara marble, Murano crystal and Venetian mirrors, decorative ironwork, Lyon silk, gilded mouldings, furniture and art objects, generally purchased from Vienna with the aid of the rich Dumba family, with which Constantin Mihail was closely related. But not only these standards of luxury are impressive. We should also mention the skylights and the large windows, designed to provide the space with as much natural light as possible, and also the technical equipment used to provide comfort all around the house, all exceptional for that period of time, including electricity and the "Roman type" heating system with pipes inserted in the walls and floors. The Palace has 29 rooms (plus annexes) of which the most spectacular is the Hall of Mirrors Inaugurated in 1909 by the two sons, Nicolae and Jean - as Constantin Mihail had died the year before, the Palace began its representation mission, which was intended from the beginning. Jean Mihail was a cultivated man and a person with broad views. He had studied law in Paris, wanting to devote to a political career. Being a prominent member of the high society and part of the restrictive circle at the Royal Court, he hosts the royal family in his palace in 1913, at the inauguration of the monument "That's the music that I love", called so after the remark of Charles I when hearing the cannon shots that marked the start of the War of Independence in 1877. The monument was destroyed immediately after the communists come to power. Two years later, King Ferdinand and Princess Mary are welcomed at the palace together with General Averescu, who were coming to visit the Military Hospital in Craiova. In 1936, Jean Mihail, the last descendant of the family, dies, leaving his entire fortune to the Romanian state, by will. And it really was an impressive fortune considering that, during the economic crisis of 1929-1933, he guaranteed with it the loans contracted by the Romanian state from the foreign banks. His gesture reflects a high civic sense and a patriotism of the noblest kind – and this is why the building remained in the public consciousness as the Jean Mihail Palace. At the beginning of World War II, when Romania generously housed Polish refugees, the Polish President Ignacy Moscicki with his family and Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły - the chief commander of the Polish armed forces, were housed at the palace. Furthermore, here, in 1940, Romania and Bulgaria signed the Treaty of Craiova by which the Quadrilateral is ceded to Bulgaria. The palace was first opened to the public between the 24th and the 31st of October 1943, during the "Week of Oltenia" event under the patronage of the Royal Cultural Foundation and during which some of the works of Constantin Brancusi were exposed for the first time in Craiova, (Head of a boy, Head of a girl and The Kiss). From 1945 to 1950, the palace became the headquarters of ARLUS (Romanian Association for Tightening the Relations with the Soviet Union), and then of the Regional Committee of the RMP in Oltenia, whose secretary was Nicolae Ceausescu (probably out of sentimental reasons he later decided, after having become the General Secretary of the Communist Party and the President of the Romanian Socialist Republic, to preserve and restore the building after it had been severely damaged during the earthquake of 1977). Since 1954, following the decision of setting up an art collection, the building was transferred in the patrimony of the City People's Council heritage and became the headquarters of the Art Museum of Craiova. Part of the "Alexander and Aristia Aman” Pinacoteca was moved here, including, besides the library, furniture and paintings belonging to the Dutch, Flemish, Italian and French schools from the XVII-XIX century, paintings and graphics by Theodor Aman, Romanian and foreign decorative art. Its patrimony was extended during the interwar period through purchases made by the city and due to the donations from the great noble families of Craiova: Mihail, Romanescu, Cornetti, Glogoveanu etc. The acquisitions continued in the post-war period and transfers have been made from the National Museum of Art and the central state funds. Currently, the patrimony of the Museum consists of over 8,000 works of European and Romanian art. The collection includes the most important names of the Romanian painting and sculpture: Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, Nicolae Tonitza, Ștefan Luchian, Gheorghe Petrașcu, Theodor Pallady, Eustațiu Stoenescu, Ion Țuculescu, Gheorge Anghel, Dimitrie Paciurea. The most valuable works of art from those held by the museum are six pieces from the works of the titan of the universal modern art, Constantin Brancusi: Vitellius, Head of a girl, Head of a boy, Torso Fragment (or Thigh), Miss Pogany and The Kiss.
