Important School Buildings in the Modernisation of the Town of Câmpulung

Summary/Abstract: During the last decade of the nineteenth century had begun the process of modernizing the constructions from the town of Campulung by adding new public buildings. Among the first newly build constructions had been the Gymnasium, No. 1 Elementary School for Boys, No. 1 Elementary School for Girls and the Pedagogic Secondary School. If the first and the second building had improve the architectonic style of the main street crossing the town, the Pedagogic School had been the reason for systemizing and embellishing the whole town entering area from Targoviste, down the Flamanda hill and not only the street; the Oprea Iorgulescu School had improved the modern civic centre of the Muscel County main town. Around the Gymnasium and the Dinicu Golescu Secondary School had appeared in time a square – the Unirii Square – and an important cultural center including the Negru Voda Monastery, a museum, the Popular Athenaeum, an elementary and a secondary school, an orphanage and a Theological Seminary. Near the No. 1 Elementary School for Boys, followed by the Oprea Iorgulescu School, the administrative centre of the town had been unified and the Town Hall, the Law Court, the Fire Station, the Financial Administration, the Prefect’s Office and public baths had been built. The attention focused on education in the town of Campulung, with many institutions endowed with teachers of a high intellectual and pedagogical prestige, had been added to the Negru Voda Monastery cultural tradition and to the town libraries. All of them had provided a base for the large cultural development and had endowed the town of Campulung as we know today with the prestige of a special cultural life.
