The Cotroceni Palace is a part of the Cotroceni National Museum that is reflecting the history of the Medieval and Modern Cotroceni. The Cotroceni Palace, church and monastery reflect a three-century history that interweaves political, military, diplomatic, religious and cultural aspects, directly with the general evolution of Romanian society.

The palace was built in the 17th century by the worthy prince Serban Cantacuzino. Among those who are connected to Cotroceni, in a way or another, we are bound to mention Constantin Brancoveanu, Nicolae and Constantin Mavrocordat, Alexandru Ipsilanti, Constantin Gheorghe Hangerli, Alexandru Moruzi, Barbu Stirbei, Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Charles (Carol) I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Ferdinand I.
The Cotroceni National Museum exhibits a rich range of values belonging to our national art, as well as to Romanian and world decorative art. The Cantacuzinian space seems to be a most suitable place for organizing a presentation of some old art objects that only give an outline of the exceptional value of the respective epoch.
