Palace Hall and the surrounding secrets. A piece of the block curtain is false, with a façade that mimics non -existent apartments, but with curtains in the glass

The Palace Hall is not only a building itself, it is part of an urban ensemble made up of the Congresses Hall of PMR/PCR, a park and the blocks on the streets Ion Câmpineanu and Ştirbei Voda.
