Muntenia

Curtea De Argeș
Curtea de Argeș () is a municipality in Romania on the left bank of the river Argeș, where it flows through a valley of the Southern Carpathians (the Făgăraș Mountains), on the railway from Pitești to the Turnu Roșu Pass. It is part of Argeș County. The city also administers one village, Noapteș. On July 7, 1947, the total rainfall in Curtea de Argeș was in 20 minutes, which is a world record.

The original name was Argeș, which was then used for the name of the river as well. History Capital of Wallachia One of the oldes ...
