Geocache Description:

The last death sentence in Romania. Geocaching might be a game but this cache is not a toy.


Not many words are to be said about the event that happened in the nearby building and courtyard. Perhaps the most important event of the life for many of us.

Nicolae Ceausescu started his political career as a charismatic patriot loved by most of the people. He continued as an opportunistic but smart leader, often appreciated at international level. And he tragically ended his life as a terrible dictator bringing incredible suffering to the whole nation.

He was sentenced to death on December 25, 1989 in the nearby building and he was executed immediately after. 

On day later the death penalty was abolished in Romania.
