Everyone knows about the wholesale destruction of Romania's old towns and villages, however culturally important, planned by President Ceauşescu. What everyone does not know is that the safeguarding of the architectural heritage has had a long and honourable history in Romania, and that action to conserve and protect continued even through the worst years, at some personal cost. Today, a decade after the overthrow of Ceauşescu and his government, it is time that the Romanian experience ceased to be regarded as something alien and, instead, was given its due place in the community of European conservation practice. This paper is intended as a small step to better understanding. It provides a general overview of the situation today, in the context of past Romanian theory, legislation and practice.
