Curtea de Argeș was established as the first capital of Wallachia, playing a crucial role in the region's political and economic development. The city is notable for its Byzantine architecture, particularly the Curtea de Argeș Monastery, which dates back to the early 1500s. Over the centuries, the city's prominence waned as the capital moved to Târgoviște. However, it regained importance in the early 20th century when it became the royal necropolis under King Carol I, marking a revival of its historical significance.
