Pășind în lumea reală vei face o călătorie virtuală prin timp:)
Pasul 1. Coordonatele initiale
Cladirea ARO, conceputa de arhitecul Horia Creanga (nepotul faimosului povestitor Ion Creanga) este dintre primele cladiri care incearca sa traseze bulevardului Magheru o perspectiva modernista.
Aici continua strada Arthur Verona (pictor autohton), ce incepe in spatele Ateneului Roman, si continua catre Gradina Icoanei. Pe partea stanga a strazii, cautand cacheul traditional ARO Building, vei gasi si casa Sturdza ce gazduieste azi libraria cafenea Carturesti.
Pasul 2. Mergi la 130m est fata de coordonatele initiale.
Casa Ion Mincu (arhitect). Conceputa de arhitectul italian Antonio Gaetano Burelli, este ocupata azi de Ordinul Arhitectilor din Romania si este in buna parte construita in stil neoromanesc.
Dupa casa Mincu strada Verona se intersecteaza cu Pitar Mos, strada pe care puteti gasi alte edificii cu arhitecturi deosebite.
Pasul 3. Mergi la 135m fata de Pasul 2, azimut 80grade.
Tocmai ai traversat strada Dionisie Lupu, si ai zarit cu siguranta catre sud Casa Universitarilor, cladire de factura romantica si neogotica ridicata in 1860 pentru directorul postelor Cezar Librecth.
Continua insa pana in fata Bisericii Anglicane. Mica piateta este strajuita astazi de un monument care combina fantana de alta data cu o statuie ce-l reprezinta probabil pe Sfantul Gheorghe copil, harjonind balaurul din bratele mamei sale insarcinata deja cu fratiorul mai mic.
Arhitectura Bisericii Anglicane „Învierea Domnului” este in stil neogotic victorian de sorginte elizabetană și a fost ridicată prin grija ambasadorului Marii Britanii, si cu sprijinul Reginei Maria, nepoată a reginei Victoria a Regatului Unit.
Punctul Final - Virtual.
De la biserica anglicana poti continua pe strada Arthur Verona si vei ajunge pe latura sudica a Gradinei Icoanei, sau poti scurta pe strada Xenopol catre intrarea de nord a parcului.
Intrarea nordica este strajuita de o statuie cu bustul lui G.C.Cantacuzino, om politic, ministru de finanțe, directorul ziarului Voința Națională.
Te afli aici la 400 de metri de coordonatele initiale si pentru a loga acest virtual ai doua optiuni:
Prima optiune: trimite-mi un mesaj cu primul nume de pe tableta fetei.
A doua optiune: posteaza o poza cu statuia.
A treia optiune: primele doua optiuni ☺
În continuare îţi recomand periplul pe la celelalte cacheuri care te vor duce catre alte monumente arhitecturale. Neaparat sa vizitezi Arta Stradala si La Scoala Centrala de Fete.

[Using the real world you will enjoy a virtual trip trough time :)]
[EN] Step 1. Given coordinates.
ARO building, designed by Horia Creanga (nephew of the famous romanian story teller Ion Creanga), is one of the first buildings trying to get Magheru Boulevard with a modern perspective.
Here continues Arthur Verona street that starts somewhere behind the Athenaeum and goes toward Gradina Icoanei park. On the left hand of the street, along with the traditional cache ARO Building, you may find Sturdza house hosting today the coffee-library concept Carturesti.
Step 2. Walk 130m east from initial coordinates.
You are in front of Ion Mincu (architect) house, designed by italian architect Antonio Gaetano Burelli, and hosting today the Order or Romanian Architects. It is build mostly with the neo-romanian style.
After Ion Mincu house, Verona street intersect Pitar Mos street that might offer great view of other buildings.
Step 3. Walk 135m from step 2, 80 degrees in azimuth.
You just crossed Dionisie Lupu street, and you glanced for sure on south direction Universitarian House. Build with romantic and neoghotic style in 1860s for the manager of post office, Cezar Librecth.
But keep going until you find the Anglican Church of the Resurrection. The small square is guarded today by a monument combining the fountain that used to be with a new statue representing probably Saint George as a child pissing off the dragon while being hold into his mother’s arms already pregnant with his brother.
The Anglican Church of the Resurrection was build in neo-gothic Victorian style of Elizabeth inheritage by the Great Britain ambassador in Bucharest with full support from Queen Maria, niece of United Kingdoms Queen Victoria.
Final Step - Virtual.
From the Anglican church you may continue on Arthur Verona street reaching the south part of Gradina Icoanei park, or you can shorten it by Xenopol street to reach the north entrance of the park.
The statue of G.C. Cantacuzino, politician, finance minister and director of Vointa Nationala paper, guards North entrance.
You are here at 400m from initial coordinates and for the task to log this virtual you have two options:
First option: send me a message with the first name on girls tablet.
Second option: post a photo with the statue.
Third option: both first two options ☺
From here on you should continue hunting nearby caches that will take you to see more architectural monuments. Do not miss Arta Stradala and La Scoala Centrala de Fete.
