The court complex was raised between the 14th and the 17th centuries. The monumental ensamble, the residence of the Wallachian princes (1397 - 1714), stretches over 28,000 sq.m. Representative for mediaeval Romanian architecture and art, the Princely Court monuments include innovative elements and solutions that strongly influenced their age. The main monuments include the Princely Palace ruins (from the 15th - 17th centuries); the Great Church (1584), with interior painting (1697), and a votive picture "Princes"; "Saint Parascheva"' Church (from the 15th century); Chindia Tower, raised by Vlad Ţepeş (1456 - 1462); Bălaşa House - the asylum (1656); the... fortifications (from the 16th - 17th centuries), ruins. Although the main extant monuments here date from the period after the reign of Mircea the Old, the archaeological excavations uncovered an interesting fortification and a house called ‘of the Pârcălab - village magistrate' and other vestiges dating from the second half of the 14th century, previous to the reign of Mircea the Old, not of great relevance now within the museum complex. The exhibits include religious art items from the Brancovan age: paintings, priestly garbs, prints, ornaments, pieces of furniture, tombstones; pottery, weapons, ornamental disks, frescos. The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.
