The CEC Palace was built for Romania’s savings bank and completed in 1900, to designs by the French architect Paul Gottereau, with an eclectic façade and a great glass-and-metal dome. The interior is not usually open to visitors, but the building is a highlight of any walk along Calea Victoriei, especially when it is lit at night.
