About
Peleș is the castle King Carol I built in the Carpathian Mountains near Sinaia between 1873 and 1914, and the first castle in the world fully powered by its own electricity.
The visit covers the ground and first floors: rooms styled Florentine, Turkish and Moorish, and two armories holding part of a 4,000-piece collection, from chainmail and scimitars to a full suit of armor for a horse and rider.
