The building, which houses big part of the historical patrimony of the Navy, it is itself declared a historical monument. The exhibition of the museum is organized in four sections: ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary eras.
After that we continue our tour heading towards Bulgaria’s town Balchik situated on the seashore. The greatest landmark of Balchik – the Palace – has remained from the period of the Romanian occupation. The Palace was the former summer residence of the Romanian Queen Maria Alexandrina Victoria De Edinburgh (1875 – 1938). The residence was constructed in 1924. The palace complex consists of a number of residential villas, a smoking hall, a wine cellar, a power station, a monastery, a holy spring, a chapel and many other buildings, as well as most notably a park that is today a state-run botanical garden. It was in 1940. In a glass jar in a chapel in Balchik on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast rested the heart of Queen Marie of Romania. It was her last wish before she died. She had loved Balchik.
In the evening, on our way back we stop at Murfatlar Vineyards for a short visit and wine tasting. The vineyard stretches across a surface of over 3000 hectares. The continental climate, the diverse territory, the sheltering effect of the relief against the cold currents coming from the north-east, and the unique and extremely favorable influence of the Black Sea that results in less aggressive summer heat and less frosty winters, offer Murfatlar vineyard the perfect microclimate to produce a large variety of quality wines (dry, semi-dry, sweet and semi-sweet red, white and rose wines )
Late in the evening we return to Bucharest.
