Built in 1835 by the high-ranking official Costache Suțu, Suțu Palace is one of the oldest aristocratic residences still standing in Bucharest. The building stands out for its Neo-Gothic architecture, with elegant details, stained-glass windows, and a striking spiral staircase that dominates the interior. 

Located near University Square, the palace now houses the Bucharest Municipality Museum, offering a rich overview of the city’s history—from Ottoman-era inns and narrow neighborhoods to daily life in the interwar period. The palace also hosts temporary exhibitions, chamber concerts, and lectures, becoming a subtle cultural hub. Though centrally located, it remains under the radar for most tourists, making it a hidden gem for those curious about Bucharest’s urban identity.
