City of Bucharest, Romania - stunning bookstore of Cărturești Carusel in Bucharest. Let's visit the capital of Romania, the city of Bucharest and here we will find the world's most beautiful bookstore Cărturești Carusel in a building that was originally in 1903 by a wealthy family of Greek bankers, only to be confiscated by the Communist regime in the 1950s. Cărturești Carusel was turned into a general store and later abandoned and left to decay as Communism collapsed.
The grandson of the banker, in the 1990s, requested that the building would be returned to his family, as legal heirs. It took 24 years of battles in court, untangling bureaucratic loops, and finding the proper documents in archives, but he finally took possession of the decaying building in 2007. He then began its remarkable transformation to the Cărturești Carusel (“Carousel of Light”) bookstore that stands today.
The extensive renovation of the bookstore of Cărturești Carusel went above and beyond, creating a stunning shop considered to be one of the most beautiful bookstores in Romania, and even the world. Seventy-five people put in a combined 20,000 hours of work over the course of five years, rebuilding and customizing every bit of detail.
