Community: Dărmăneşti

On the road full of history that relates Bucharest to Târgovişte, known as "Drumul Domnişorului", half way between the two large cities, we find Dărmăneşti commune. Among the constituents of the commune there are Dărmăneşti and Mărginenii de Sus villages. The commune stretches on a surface of 3314 ha, with a population of 5.050 inhabitants.

poza

Our village lies right where the plain and hill meet, so the vegetation consists in grassy plants specific to the steppe area and in leafy forests (oak, beech, acacia). The climate is temperate and moderately dry. 4 km east of our village Prahova river flows, and to the west there are Provita brook and Cricov river.

Among the neighbours of the community there are :
  • I.L.Caragiale commune (5km);
  • Vlădeni commune (4km) where there is a reserve of ure oxen;
  • Filipeştii de Târg - here one can see the ruins of Cantacuzino Palace (Little Trianon) and the garden of the palace where there are unique species of trees
  • Târgovişte city (30km), the former capital of the Romanian Country – here there are a lot of historic vestiges (Residence Town, Domnească Church, Chindiei Tower)

On the near hills lies Viforata and Dealul Monasteries where the head of hospodar Mihai the Brave is buried.
