history
Colțea Hospital was opened on December 14, 1704 as the first hospital in Bucharest. Adjacent to the hospital was the Colțea Monastery , which was built between 1695 and 1697 and whose monastery church still exists today. Originally the hospital had 24 beds. Other buildings such as the medical school, an inn and several storerooms for medicinal plants were added to the hospital before a wall was built around the entire health complex to protect against attacks. After the earthquake in 1802, the building was rebuilt in 1836–1842, but demolished again due to further earthquakes in 1887 to make room for today's Col heutigenea Palace , which still serves as a hospital today.
