writers, musicians, and kings and queens.
Even after his inauguration in 1883, Peles will be
modified, extending the time. Reached its present
form until 1914 (the year of death of King Charles
I). The castle has 160 rooms and several
entrances and staircases. The central tower
measured no less than 66 feet tall. In addition
Peles itself in the area were erected two smaller

19. This was a brief overview of the castle.
Now I’ll tell you my opinion. If you ever will come in Romania I
think this is one of the most beautiful places in Romania you have
to visit. I have the oportunity to go there with my colleagues and
it was brilliant. If I ever will have this chance again I won’t miss it.
When you firstly went on the way to the castle you have to go up
in an alley. The view is amazing and all the things there have their
beauty.
When you came in the castel you have to put something on your
shoes to not dirty something.
I’ll almost have been in all the rooms but not in all. Those
mentioned at the most important rooms to visit are very beautiful
and every room have it’s diferent style to be placed and I think all
the castel has all the types in the world.
