Tudor Arghezi House

About

Known as Casa Mărțișor, the Tudor Arghezi House in Bucharest preserves the legacy of one of Romania’s most celebrated literary figures. Built in stages beginning in 1930, the house was designed by Arghezi himself with the help of a Swedish architect, reflecting his personal vision. Located in the Dealul Piscului area, the residence became a creative haven where Arghezi lived and worked until his death in 1967. The property includes an annex added in the 1930s that housed his printing press, operated with his son Baruțu. Following nationalization in 1948, Arghezi requested the house be turned into a memorial museum, a wish fulfilled in 1974. Today, the museum is managed by the National Museum of Romanian Literature and features original furniture, manuscripts, photographs, and personal objects. The garden holds the graves of Arghezi, his wife Paraschiva, and daughter Mitzura, adding a poignant touch to this literary landmark.
