From 5th to 8th April 2009
School: Colegiul Economic ”Ion Ghica

Targoviste town is located 80 km far from the capital, Bucharest.
First attested in 1396, it became the capital of the Wallachian voivodship, during the reign of Mircea cel Bătrân, when the Royal Court (“Curtea Domnească”) was built. Vlad III Dracula (called Vlad the Impaler) later added the Chindia Tower, now a symbol of the city.
After Constantin Brâncoveanu moved the capital to Bucharest (80 km far from) Târgovişte lost its importance, decaying economically as its population decreased.
Târgovişte was the site of the trial and execution of Nicolae Ceauşescu (the communist leader) and his wife Elena in December 1989. Interestingly, there are towns with the same name (albeit with different spellings as they are written in our days in the Cyrillic alphabet) in both Bulgaria and Serbia. The Romanian and Bulgarian towns are twinned. The name is of Slavic origin, from the root -trg- or -tǎrg- (“trade”) and the placename suffix -ište, and means “marketplace”.
