Peles Palace - is one of the best-preserved royal palaces in Europe. It served as the summer residence of the first Hohenzollern king of Romania, Carol I. Built in the latter half of the 19th century, it was the king's attempt to imitate the styles of his former homeland, creating a Bavarian setting in the mountains of Romania. The palace is ornately decorated, inside and out, with intricate wood carvings and paintings of scenes form Wagner operas.
Located in the picturesque Prahova Valley, in the spa town of Sinaia, the castle and the adjacent buildings beautifully combines renaissance and baroque style and the Saxon style wooden framing.  The castle itself was built as a summer residence but is now a museum with artifacts including medieval armory.
Inside you may find also baroque, rococo and Hispanic elements and decorations. It has a valuable collection of European arms from 15th and 19th centuries, Oriental carpets, porcelains and paintings
