Gr. G. Cantacuzino Tomb

Code no. List of Historical Monuments  B-IV-m-A-20118.175

According to the drawings kept in our National Museum of Art, there are at least
two versions of sketches drawn during the period of 1898-1901 for the
tomb of the richest man in Romania, nicknamed the Nabob (1837-1913).
During that period,  Gr.G. Cantacuzino held important political
positions as Minister of Internal Affairs, Prime-Minister and president
of the Chamber of Deputies. As he was a descendant of one of the oldest
families in history, he wanted to proudly display heraldic and military
insignia on the monument.
