From Bucur the Shepherd to Count Dracula:

Every city has its legends, and Bucharest is no exception. One tale speaks of a shepherd named Bucur, who enchanted travelers with his flute along the banks of the Dambovita river. Another legend tells of Bucur's love for Dambovita, a forest ranger's daughter, and the prince who sought her hand in marriage. These stories, although often disregarded by historians, have been cherished by common people and contribute to Bucharest's folklore.

Historically, Bucharest's roots trace back to the reign of Prince Vlad Tepes, famously known as Dracula. During his rule in 1459, he established a princely residence and a military citadel in Bucharest, leaving behind remnants that can still be explored today at The Old Princely Court in the city center.
