The city was first mentioned in 1495 as the residence of the ruler of the Romanian Country Vlad Tepes.

The name of the city, Bucharest was given by a peasant named Bucur but there is no documentary attestation until the end of the Middle Ages.

The city became the capital of Wallachia in 1698 and developed during the 18th century peace period. In 1862, Bucharest became the capital of Romania.

The Snagov Monastery, also known as the Vlad Țepeș Monastery, is a medieval monastery and important historical monument located in southern Romania in the county of Ilfov, on an island in the northern reaches of Lake Snagov, belonging to the commune of Snagov, and in geographical proximity to the village of Siliștea Snagovului, in the Gruiu commune.
The monastery is probably one of the late foundations of Mircea the Elder, being first documented in 1408. It has been rebuilt several times by other rulers, among whom we can mention Vlad Țepeș, Mircea Ciobanul, and Neagoe Basarab.

It was built between 1698 and 1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoș, who owned the land it was built on.After 1714, when Constantin Brâncoveanu was executed with his entire family in Constantinople, all the family's wealth was confiscated by the Ottomans and the palace was converted into an inn. Rebought by Prince Ștefan Cantacuzino, he returned it to Brâncoveanu's grandson Constantin, and remained with the family until the early nineteenth century.

The palace was devastated by the Ottomans during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774. It was later granted by prince Grigore to his daughter, Zoe Mavrocordat, who had married George D. Bibescu, sovereign Prince of Wallachia. The palace remained within Bibescu family and was renovated by Nicolae Bibescu.
