„Casa Mică”, locul unde Regele Mihai l-a arestat pe Ion Antonescu, la 23 august 1944. Ce s-a întâmplat cu ea? • Newsweek România

The 'Casa Mică', where King Michael I arrested Ion Antonescu on August 23, 1944, has been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the Royal Palace. Originally built in the 1930s, it served as a private residence for King Carol II and later for King Michael. The building was demolished in 1960, replaced by the Palace Hall. The events of August 23 marked a significant turning point in World War II, as Romania switched sides against Nazi Germany. Despite its historical importance, the fate of 'Casa Mică' was tragic, as it was destroyed shortly after the arrest, and its legacy faded over time. The area underwent significant changes, with the Royal Palace receiving renovations while 'Casa Mică' was neglected.
