The building resembles a very large and elaborate mausoleum, and was built in the Byzantine architectural style, with Moorish arabesques. The next stop is at Vidraru Dam which was completed in 1966 on the Arges River and creates Lake Vidraru . The dam’s height is 166 metres, the arch length 305 meters and it can store 465 million cubic metres of water. We continue with a journey on the best road in the world acording with Top Gear Show. The Transfagarasan was constructed between 1970 and 1974 during the rule of Nicolae Ceausescu. After an interesting day we travel to Bucharest to finish the trip.
