The Porch House (Calea Calarasi)

Rare 19th century semi-rural porch house in the central-eastern area of Bucharest. These ‘peasant’ houses, unusual occurrences for a European capital city in the 21st century, represent surviving traces of the patriarchal rural Bucharest – giving the city a unique, sweet rural-like flavor (Calea Calarasi, pictures taken in Dec. 2011)
