A Forgotten Monument, the Roman-Catholic Chapel in the Town of Sinaia.
Several Recommendations Concerning the Restoration of the Building and its Introduction in the Touristic Tours.
The subject of the present study is the recovery of a forgotten monument through its restoration and its introduction in the touristic circuit. The roman-catholic chapel Ştirbei, also known as general Ion Florescu’ chapel, was a part of the Ştirbei domain, now separated from this. As a different monument, the chapel was affected by numerous destructions, its present condition imposing an immediate intervention. Our goal is to signalize this situation, to describe the problems encountered and to make some recommendations to the authorities which manage the building.
