Solacoglu Inn


Solacoglu Inn improperly called inn, was actually a factory for producing pasta in Bucharest. It is located along Calea Moşilor, a trading avenue that used to make the connection between Bucharest's Inner Town and the largest marketplace in the town. Its architecture blends traditional outlines with a few Western elements. It was constructed in 1859 for Solacoglu Brothers, merchants from Svishtov, Bulgaria who had settled in Wallachia. In the 1990s the city government evacuated the illegal inhabitants and the bureaucratic process of restoring the building was supposed to begin, but it did not. The building lies nowadays in a bad, ruined state, with its doors and windows blocked off by metal strings bars and plates.
