Some history first: Curtea de Arges City is the site of couple medieval churches. The most important church is the Biserica Domnească (Royal Church) built by Basarab I, completely renovated in 2003-2004. It resembles a stone fortress, connected through catacombs to a guard tower on a nearby hill. Ruins of the Prince's Palace Complex are still visible.

We followed the road 30 km more to reach Vidraru Dam and Vidraru Lake, built in 1965 to produce hydroelectricity. Pretty impressive view.
