Peleș EP.7: The Fina

Peleș EP.7: The Final Corridor of the Castle – Art, Time, and the Silent Power of the Back Room 🏰 Peleș – The Castle of Time A 9-Part Journey Series: A Breathless Castle Traveling inside Peleș Castle is like reading a thick book, with hidden stories and symbols uncovered as you delve deeper into it. As we reach the final section of the castle, we encounter a room that clearly reveals the vision and spirit of its creator. Before reaching the final room, we pass through a white hallway filled with intricate stuccowork. Entering the dining room, we encounter a long wooden table and carved cabinets, not merely for banqueting, but also symbols of government administration and diplomacy. Small details, such as the carved lion-headed pedestal and the intricately designed barometer, are not merely aesthetically pleasing; they are also a "language of power" communicated through the architecture and the careful arrangement of every element. In the next room, we find Middle Eastern furnishings, including Persian rugs, brass lamps, and exquisitely arranged Arabian armor, reflecting European perspectives on the Orient at that time. While they may appear as beautiful works of art, they also serve as a mirror reflecting the "attitude of their owners." The final section of Peleș Castle is not just the end of a corridor, but a "spiritual culmination" of all that the castle has to offer. From the white hall, which resembles a time tunnel, to the dining room filled with symbols of power, to the Oriental Art Gallery, which tells the story of cultural exchange. Peleș Castle, which took over 40 years to build, was not just a summer residence, but a "model of a new Romania," intended by King Carol I as a state standing tall in Europe, merging art and science. This made it one of the first castles in Europe to have utilities like electricity and an elevator. Peleș is not just a castle — it's a museum of European ambition in transition. From "power" to "art" From "possession" to "collection" From "real palace" to "legend in our eyes" 📖 Next episode: Peleș EP.8 – A Shadow of Autumn 📍 Peleș Castle, Sinaia, Romania #PelesCastle #RomaniaTrip #TravelSeries #DocumentaryTone #TheCastleOfTime
