Familia Ghica: domnitori, scriitori şi sfinţi

We invite you to watch a conference event dedicated to the personalities that the Ghica Family gave to Romanian and European society. The event took place in 2012 at Hanul lui Manuc and was supported by historians Georgeta Filitti and Neagu Djuvara, and the recording is part of the archive of the Calea Victoriei Foundation. The Ghica family is one of the most prominent families of Wallachia. They ruled for over 25 years, with 10 rulers, the first earthly rule in Wallachia and the last rule, before the Union of the Principalities, in Moldova. The Ghica rulers had an enlightened attitude towards the position they occupied. In their wake, they left behind the founders of cities (Alexandria), palaces (Ghica-Tei Palace, in Bucharest, and others in the country), churches, hospital establishments, etc. The same family produced numerous writers – Ion Ghica, Pantazi Ghica, Elena Ghica (Dora d' Istria), politicians, theologians – Monsignor Vladimir Ghika, even a guru in India – Alecu Ghica.
