Campulung

Campulung, or Campulung Muscel, is a municipality within the Argeș County, Muntenia, Romania. It is located among the outlying hills of the Carpathian mountains, at the top of a protracted nicely-wooded glen traversed through the Târgului River, a tributary of the Argeș. Its natural air and great surroundings render Campulung a popular summer time resort. In the city there are extra than twenty church buildings, except a monastery and a cathedral, which each claim to were based within the thirteenth century with the aid of Radu Negru, legendary first Prince of Wallachia.

Near Campulung are the remains of a Roman camp now referred to as the Castra of Jidava; and just past the gates, vestiges of a Roman colony, variously identified with Romula, Stepenium and Ulpia Traiana, but now called Gradistea or Jidovi. Campulung become one of the earliest city settlements in Wallachia, the Transylvanian Saxon colonists contributing to its improvement by bringing the German urban way of life. The earliest written proof of the city's lifestyles is dated 1300, and is to be located inside the Campulung church.
