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.

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 Schina House in Craiova, nicknamed "The Little Louvre", is a historic architectural monument located near the central area of the city. The building is located on Calea Unirii, at no. 70, near Feraru House and opposite of Teodoru House. Built at the end of the 19th century in the Renaissance style, the house belonged to Dr. Constantin Schina, who is said to have been the chief physician of Craiova for a period of time. Schina House was sold after 1943 by the descendants of the doctor to a Craiova lawyer named Popescu. Between 1979 and 1996, the Museum of History of Medicine and Pharmacy "Victor Gomoiu" functioned in the building, founded by prof. Dr. Mihail Şcheau based on the "Pharmacy History Collection" organized in 1963 by pharmacists Gheorghe Cismărescu (1900-1964) and Nicolae Zahacinschi (1919-1988). The core of the museum, donated by Dr. Viorica Gomoiu in 1972, consisted of museum pieces gathered during his life by the great physician and historian of medicine Victor Gomoiu. Among the collections of the museum were two works by Constantin Brâncuşi, " Écorché" (one of the four or five existing copies, and the second remaining in Craiova, apart from the one preserved at the Carol I National College) and the bust of General Carol Davila. After 1996, lawyer Popescu's descendants claimed ownership of the building in which the museum was functioning. In 1997, they won the building in court, the collections of the museum being evacuated. The management of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova and the "Victor Gomoiu" Foundation decided to transfer the collections to the University of Targu Jiu in order to establish a medical faculty. The pieces are now located in the building of the Faculty of Medical Assistance, Dental Technique, Art and Physical Culture in Târgu Jiu. Later, in the former Schina House functioned a research institute. Currently Schina House is privately owned. Source: www.monumenteoltenia.ro Photo: www.monumenteoltenia.ro

The Palace is located in Craiova, Frații Buzeşti Street, no. 10. Here, more than 100 years ago, Gogu Vorvoreanu, a well-known landowner and attorney-at-law, laid the foundation for his future family residence. For this purpose, the boyar has used the finest materials and the most talented craftsmen, desiring with all the urgency that the new construction will successfully pass through time his family crest and legacy. "Vorvoreanu" Palace was built at the beginning of the 20th century, between 1905-1910, according to the plans of famous architect Dimitrie Maimarolu. The harmony of shapes, authentically woven in a pure Renaissance style, brings together the delicacy and the finishing touches of an interior rich in ornaments with the impetuosity of the outer forms and bas-reliefs. Between 1916 and 1918 the German Military Command functioned in this palace. Vorvoreanu Palace and many other properties and assets of the family were nationalized by the Communists. Assets in the palace were not alienated. However, the sacrifice of the forerunners did not remain unpaid, and on May 31, 1964, after repeated attempts made by the representatives of the Craiova Archdiocese to the State Council of the Socialist Republic of Romania, the ”jewel” at Fratii Buzeşti Street no. 10 passed into the property of the Church, in exchange with the House of the Bania. In the old Vorvoreni courtyard, a beautiful wooden church was displaced from Tălpăşeşti, Gorj, in 1975. The holy place, dedicated to "All Saints", is more than 260 years old and was founded by the monk Daniil of the Tismana Lavra, with the support of the Tălpăşeşti population. Today it functions as a metropolitan chapel, with a liturgical daily program. Source: www.mitropoliaolteniei.ro Photo: www.monumenteromania.ro

The Dianu Houses are a small architectural jewel of Craiova. Located right in the city center, they have always been some of Craiova's most attractive buildings. Spacious and solid, they amazed the locals when they were finished in 1902. The facades loaded with floral ornaments and balconies in the Art Nouveau style with wrought-iron railings, were enjoyed so much by the local aristocracy that they began to be copied. The Dianu House has a single upper floor and is beautifully decorated with window-frames, with a masonry corner balcony and another forged iron balcony towards A. I. Cuza Street. It has a steep slope roof with a truncated pyramid shaped dome on the corner and another pyramid shaped dome above the alleyway towards A. I. Cuza. On the side towards Panait Moșoiu Street, there is a truncated pyramid shaped dome exactly at the middle of the building. On this side there is another wrought iron balcony and another masonry balcony towards the area called the "Small Crossroad". On the ground floor there were always two or three shops of little importance, visited by those who descended towards the "Small Crossroad". In the summer of 1934, in Craiova it was held the trial of the railwaymen and oil miners who had organized big strikes in the previous year. During the trial, a "defense committee" was set up and the newspaper "Defense of the Railwaymen" appeared. The headquarters of the editorial office were initially in the house of lawyer Costel Dianu (A.I. Cuza Street, no.16) opposite to today’s National Theater. The Dianu House was later the headquarters of the Craiova Committee against the Imperial War of Looting and Conquest, which included Mihail Cruceanu, Eugen Constant, av. Nicu Popilian and av. Costel Dianu. The facade of the house was renovated in 2014, following the City Hall's decision of renovating the aspect of the entire historical center of Craiova Source: vladimirrosulescu-istorie.blogspot.com/2016/05/casa-dianu-aicuza.html Photo: https://www.facebook.com/craiovadeieri/

The Charmed Castle of Craiova is located in the most famous and popular park in the city, the "Nicolae Romanescu" Park. However, the fact that it is in a less visible place, being hidden among the trees, has made it less known to tourists, until a few years ago. The Charmed Castle was built in 1905 with the purpose of concealing the water tower in the park. It was built in a romantic style and was one of the meeting places of the Craioveni. The castle is located near the Suspended Bridge, another popular park sight. It separates two hills and is above a water.

The earliest evidence of the existence of the old settlement dates back to the year 225. According to the "Peuntigeriana Plate", on an old map of the Roman Empire from the year 225, it is shown the city of Pelendava. The first document mentioning the name Craiova dates from 1475. The historic center includes a series of monuments dating from the 15th and the 18th-19th centuries. Apart from numerous cultural institutions, museums, administrative buildings, churches, there are also many private houses: the Palace of Justice, the Prefecture, the Bank of Commerce, the ruins of Hurezi Inn, the Palace of Jean Mihail, the Vorvoreanu Palace, the Minerva Hotel and Casino, the Glogoveanu House, the Nicolae Romanescu House, National Colleges Carol I and Elena Cuza, and many more. All of these old buildings blend harmoniously with the modern style of other buildings constructed in the last century. The historic center of Craiova was recently restored with European funds, thus giving it the glory of the past.

The Carol I High School building in Craiova is an architectural monument of national interest, built at the end of the XIX th century. The edifice is located in the central area of ​​Craiova, near the Oteteleşanu School (the current Elena Cuza National College) and the Church of the Holy Trinity, on Ioan Maiorescu Street, no. 2. The building currently houses the Carol I National College, the second oldest secondary school institution in Romania. The history of this school begins in 1826, when two former students of Gheorghe Lazar and Ion Heliade Rădulescu, professor Stanciu Capataneanu and teacher Grigore Pleşoianu set up the Secondary National School, the second secondary school in the Principalities, after St. Sava College in Bucharest . In the beginning, the Central School functioned in the cells of the Obedeanu Monastery, then at the Madona Dudu Church. In October 1832, it was bought the current land of the College, in the centre of Craiova, with the amount of 300 gold coins donated by Iordache Otetelisanu. It was not until 1842 that the first location was inaugurated, the one immortalized by the painter Theodor Aman in the painting "Hora Unirii la Craiova ". In the big hall of the school, Ion Heliade Radulescu read The Proclamation of Izlaz, while Maiorescu, the head of the institution, climbed into a tree in front of the building and read the same Proclamation to pupils and other inhabitants of Craiova. After the defeat of the Revolution of 1848, for three years, the school closes because it does not have the necessary teachers, and the Turks turn the building into a garrison and a kitchen, heating their food with the furniture and the books in the library. Through the efforts of Professor G.M. Fontanin, who becomes head of the institution for almost 30 years, the school is reopened in 1854. In 1885, by high Royal Decree, the school was named "Carol I" High School. Between 1893 and 1895, was built the current high school building costing more than one million lei. King Carol I himself added at the foundation a metal cylinder containing the official document of the construction that will become a heritage building. The frescoes from the library and the round hall were made by the painter Francis Tribalski, and the new dome building was furnished with luxurious furniture. But this location also became a hospital during the First World War. In 1948, on the occasion of the centenary of the Revolution of 1848, the high school received the name "Nicolae Bălcescu" People's College, but in 1997 it will return to the old name "Carol I", which is preserved until today. Besides, both historical personalities are considered spiritual mentors of the College of Craiova. Over the years, the outstanding results of the students gave international recognition to the "Carol I" National College. The students, guided by outstanding teachers, gained 52 international awards, including 17 gold medals, 22 silver medals and 13 bronze medals. The school library is the most important school library in the country. It was founded in 1836 and bears the name of Mihail Strajan, a high school teacher during 1881-1902. He was the one who supplied the library with books and decorated it with expensive furniture. The Mihail Strajan Library contains heritage books, such as the Bible from Bucharest (1688). The oldest book dates back to 1514. Some heritage books were part of the library of Constantin Cantacuzino. The school also take pride in its butterfly collection (donated by Claudia and Ion Stănoiu and completed by Adrian and Ioana Rusescu), which includes thousands of specimens gathered around the globe. Another important piece from the high school's heritage is the collection of rocks collected by the teachers Dumitru and Ştefania Alexandrescu. One of the high value objects ​​sheltered by the high school is "The Ecorché" by Constantin Brâncuşi, made in collaboration with doctor D. Gerota and located in the biology laboratory.

The former Normal School for Boys in Craiova is a monumental building, located on Calea Bucureşti, no. 107. The work of architect Constantin Băicoianu, the edifice was built between 1898-1901 as a building for the Normal School for Boys. Later, the building hosted several educational institutions, currently being the headquarters of the Faculty of Mechanics of the University of Craiova. The building of the former Normal School for Boys is an imposing building of monumental dimensions, disposed on three levels (semi-basement, ground floor and upper floor) on a plane symmetric to the vertical of the central tower (entrance from Calea București). The facades of the building are covered with apparent brick, and the roof of the edifice is made of tile. On the outside, the ornamental stucco and the painted decorations are remarkable. On the facade of the building there is a marble plate that commemorates Ștefan Velovan's activity in Craiova. Ștefan Velovan, considered the greatest Romanian teacher of his time and the one who laid the foundations for pedagogical education, was the promoter of a new trend in didactics and pedagogical methodology ("velovanism").

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

The Obedeanu School in Craiova is the first school in Oltenia - attested since 1775 - and the precursor of the 2nd oldest secondary school institution in the Principalities. Together with the ”Annunciation and the Holy Emperors” Church of the former Obedeanu Monastery, a hospital for the poor and an asylum, the Obedeanu School was the epicenter of a religious, cultural and social settlement in the landscape of Craiova during the 18th and 19th centuries. This school was attended by many personalities, such as Tudor Vladimirescu, Petrache Poenaru, Gheorghe Chiţu, Theodor Aman, Alexandru Macedonski, Eugeniu Carada, Constantin Argetoianu, Gogu Constantinescu, Nicolae Titulescu, dr. Constantin Angelescu, Constantin Nicolăescu-Plopşor and many more. The school was established in the cellars of Obedeanu Church, founded by the great boyar Constantin Obedeanu. This school at Obedeanu church in the years 1774-1775 was the first school in Oltenia, whereby Obedeanu's establishment began its great historical and cultural role. It was, for 100 years, the only elementary school in Craiova and the second national school in Romanian language from Wallachia, after St. Sava. Once it was set up, the school was included in the education system of that time. The school functioned, with some interruptions, from 1816 until 1821, being confirmed by legislative acts of organization. The study plan included the study of the Greek language, French language, arithmetic and the Romanian language, and since 1813 two teachers have been appointed for the study of the Romanian language. After Tudor Vladimirescu's Revolution of 1821 and the arrival of Grigore Dimitrie Ghica Vodă as ruler, he ordered the abolition of Greek schools, on the orders of the sultan. Thus, the school of Obedeanu Church became in 1822 a public school under the name of Princely School, with primary and upper classes, in which the young people of Craiova learned the Romanian, French and Greek languages. In the spring of 1825, the teachers Stanciu Căpăţâneanu and Grigore Pleşoianu, pupils of Gheorghe Lazăr and I. H. Rădulescu, set up at the Obedeanu Church the National School of Romanian Language, whose name will be linked to the entire subsequent evolution of the educational system in Craiova. Between 1826 and 1832, due to the deterioration of the building and the socio-political conditions at that time, the school operated with great interruptions. In 1832, through the care of Stanciu Căpăţâneanu, Grigore Pleşoianu and Florian Aron, the third grade of the school together with the upper classes (future gymnasium) temporarily moved into the cellars of the Madona Dudu church, and the 1st and 2nd grades still operating in the school's building in the courtyard of Obedeanu Church. After 1834, this school was entrusted with training teachers for rural schools, at that time called candidates. This mission ceased once the Normal School was set up in Craiova. After the renewal of the Obedeanu establishment in 1858, the buildings that have long been used as a school lasted until 1888-1889, continuing to be school buildings – this time primary school following the new organization of education, until the old buildings of the Obedeanus, in ruins and with no one to take care of them, were demolished by the Craiova City Hall. The new buildings of the two primary schools - the Obedeanu School for Boys and the Zoiţa Brâncoveanu School for Girls - were built on the site of the old buildings and cellars next to the Obedeanu church. According to the history of the Obedeanu church, between the two school buildings there is another building, built in 1900 with the purpose of a school cafeteria. The dividing wall between the church and the school was erected in 1968 on the initiative of the school. It should be remembered that out of everything that was once the Obedeanu establishment, today only the church and a part of the wall surrounding the school on the west and north side are still standing. From a legal point of view, following a decision of the Dolj County School Inspectorate in 2010, the Obedeanu School lost its legal capacity, becoming a structure of the School no. 12 "Decebal". Practically, it continued to function, with pre-school groups and grades I to VIII. In terms of patrimony, the Obedeanu School has four buildings, two of which are historical monuments (the school building with entrance from Brestei Street and the one with entrance from Painter Oscar Obedeanu Street).

The building in which the secondary headquarters of Craiova City Hall are located, on A. I. Cuza Street, at no. 1, dates from 1900-1905 and is on the list of historical monuments. It was built according to the plans of architect Otto Hesselmann. According to archive records, the building was designed from the very beginning to have two purposes. Here, a hotel, but also a bank office, were supposed to operate. To fulfill the first purpose, the Palace Hotel was designed in a manner specific to most of the early 20th century hotels in Bucharest. As in the capital, the hotel was positioned on a street corner, with two main facades and entrances and apartments located right on the corner of the building. The double utility of the building can be seen on the inside. Architects talk about a special concept of "building inside the building" that can be noticed as soon as you enter the building. The ground floor and the first floor have been fitted with a large indoor hall and many counters to serve as bank office. On the second, third and attic floors are the apartments where the guests of the Palace Hotel were accommodated. The most interesting element of interior decoration is the main skylight. Located on the first floor, it functions as a "light garden", according to the specialists. The building also had many beautiful paintings and wainscots, especially in the hotel rooms, but they have deteriorated over time. Five earthquakes have passed over this building, beginning with the one in 1908 and ending with the one fromt the 1990s. They have seriously affected the building’s resistance structure. Despite the fact that the traces of time can be easily observed everywhere in the building, local authorities say that no consolidation work has been done, not even after the earthquake of 1977.
