Gheorghe Lazăr National College (Romanian: Colegiul Național "Gheorghe Lazăr") is a public day high school in Sibiu, in the Transylvania region of Romania, located at 1-3 Gheorghe Lazăr Street.

The Gheorghe Lazăr National College (Romanian: Colegiul Național Gheorghe Lazăr) is a high school located in central Bucharest, Romania, at the southeast corner of the Cișmigiu Gardens, on the corner of Bulevardul Regina Elisabeta. One of the most prestigious secondary education institutions in Romania, it was named after the Transylvanian educator Gheorghe Lazăr, who taught at the Saint Sava College. Founded in 1860, it is the second oldest high school in Bucharest.

Izvor is a metro station in Bucharest, Romania, located near the Palace of the Parliament. It also services one of the buildings of the Bucharest Veterinary University, the Gheorghe Lazăr High School and the Cişmigiu Gardens. It was opened on 19 November 1979 as part of the first line of the Bucharest metro, between Semanatoarea and Timpuri Noi, on the right bank of the Dâmboviţa River, in what was then the Izvor neighbourhood (the entire area on the right bank of the Dâmboviţa river was demolished four years later during Nicolae Ceauşescu's systematization plans in order to make way for the Palace of the Parliament). The station itself is shallow, with two lateral platforms allowing access to the centrally positioned tracks. There is no vestibule – the station is too shallow to allow for a level to be built above the tracks, and the architects of the Bucharest Metro did not fashion building above-ground vestibules such as those found in Moscow or London. As such, the ticketing machines are on the same level with the tracks themselves. As all entrances are on the southbound platform, the architects designed a passage running beneath the tracks to provide access from the southbound platform to the northbound platform. The only other station where this is the case is at Berceni, the southern end of the M2. The station itself uses a dark gray and light beige colour scheme, employing cold white lighting. The station is quite small, being initially built to service a rather low-density residential area. Myth has it that in the late-1970s when the line was being built, president Ceauşescu ordered that this station be linked to the Palace of the Parliament via an interconnecting train tunnel. If this is true or false remains a mystery.

The Bulandra Theatre (Romanian: Teatrul Bulandra) in Bucharest, Romania was founded in 1947 as Teatrul Municipal; its first director was Lucia Sturdza-Bulandra, one of the leading Romanian stage actresses of her generation. Liviu Ciulei was director between 1963 and 1972; one of the most important directors since then was Ștefan Iordănescu (1999–2002), who restructured the theatre management. From 2002 until his death in 2019, the theatre was directed by Alexandru Darie; as of 2020, the director is Vlad Zamfirescu.Since 1991, the Bulandra Theatre has been a member of the Union of European Theatres, which was founded in March 1990. The theatre currently has two stages, located about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) apart from one another: Sala Liviu Ciulei, the former Sala Izvor (renovated 2002) near the Dâmboviţa River, not far from the southwest corner of Cișmigiu Gardens; and Sala Toma Caragiu (renovated 2003), about half a kilometer southeast of Piața Romană, just east of the Grădina Icoanei park. Originally Teatrul Municipal, the theatre later acquired the name Teatrul Lucia Sturdza Bulandra, now shortened to Teatrul Bulandra. The present Sala Liviu Ciulei (Izvor) was and remains the headquarters, housing offices as well as the actual theatre space. The main teatre building has been renamed in 2011 after the previous head of Bulandra Theatre, film and theatre director and actor Liviu Ciulei. Before Communist times, the second hall, located by Grădina Icoanei and designed by architect Ion Mincu, was the auditorium of a private school, Școala Centrală de Fete (Central Girls' School), located on Icoanei Street. After nationalization, the hall was first renamed after Filimon Sârbu, then later took its present name, in memory of actor Toma Caragiu.

The Mihai Vodă Monastery, founded by Mihai Viteazul, is one of the oldest buildings in Bucharest. It was built in 1591, surrounded by stone walls, similar to a fortress. The monastery buildings served multiple purposes over time such as residence of the country's leaders, military hospital, medical school and the site of the National Archives of Romania. The monastery was an important archeological site; inside the monastery yard used to be a Dacian archeological site, more than 3000 years old, where old pottery and other relics were found.In 1813 Mihai Vodă Monastery was "one of the largest monasteries of Romania". Between 1908 and 1909, Cristofi Cerchez, head of architecture for the Ministry of Religious Affairs, supervised work on the State Archives at the Monastery.At the time of the communist regime in 1985, the church building was moved on rails 285 metres east and hidden in its present location on Sapienței street, next to Splaiul Independenței street and Izvor Park. That was to make way for a civic centre. The medieval cloisters and ancillary buildings were demolished. Mihai Vodă Monastery has been included into the List of historical monuments of Romania and has been classified under the code B-II-a-A-19644.

The Sapienței Church (Romanian: Biserica Sapienței) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 5 Sapienței Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God. The church was built in 1710 by Vornic Iordache Krețulescu and his wife Safta, the daughter of Constantin Brâncoveanu. Together with the surrounding houses, the church passed from father to son as a family chapel until Manolache-Emanoil Krețulescu sold it to his mother-in-law Olimpia Lahovary. She restored the chapel in 1884, when an aging Gheorghe Tattarescu painted the interior. It was then opened to the public. In 1898, Olimpia willed the property to her son Alexandru Em. Lahovary, who closed the chapel in 1902. He rented the houses to the Holy Synod, headquartered there for a time. During this period, the chapel was used for administering oaths, for example during the clerical trial of Metropolitan Atanasie Mironescu.In 1931, Lahovary donated the chapel and parish house to the Patriarchate, intending that the public once again be admitted. Upon a request from the Office for Heroes, a World War I memorial society with offices across the street, the property was granted to its keeping. Instead of opening for worship as stipulated, the organization used the church as storage space, leading to its deterioration. The Patriarchate sanctified and reopened the church for community worship in 1941. It underwent a thorough restoration in 1966–1968, when a closed portico was added. In the 1980s, under Nicolae Ceaușescu, the church was threatened with demolition, officially in order to make way for the Mihai Vodă Monastery to be moved in its place; the plans were dropped after concerted opposition emerged.The church is small and low-ceilinged, with a single rectangular nave measuring 10 meters long by 8 meters wide. The attractive iconostasis is carved in wood. The square portico is on the west side, with a narrow balcony above the entrance. The facades are not ornamented. The rectangular stained-glass windows depicting saints date to 1947. The grounds feature a landscaped garden.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Bancorex was the largest bank in Romania during the 1990s, accounting for more than a fourth of the banking market share when it was closed down in 1999. The bank failed due to non-performing loans that were related to political corruption, especially behind-the-scenes political dealings. The bank was bailed out by the Romanian state, its good assets being then merged with the more solvent Banca Comercială Română. It was founded as the Banca Română de Comerț Exterior ("Romanian Bank for Foreign Trade") in 1968 and for decades it was the bank through which much of Romania's foreign trade was conducted.
