Although much of the old city has been demolished, there are still parts which display a distinct classical Romanian architecture.
Looked at separately, some buildings did remind me of Paris. Walking around narrow streets in the city centre, with cobble stones, few cars and small shops, it can become a game to spot another building with sculptures, with a particular roof with dormers, with decorated window panes. And at the same time, it can become possible to see that building overshadowed by a modern, steel-and-glass office building of the new era. During my last visit, I noticed that the ruins of the former building of the infamous Securitate, the Romanian secret police, had been superseded by a modern building with its base in the ruins of the old one.
