Elisabeta Palace in Bucharest was designed in 1935 by Constantin Ionescu and Corneliu M. Marcu for Princess Elisabeth of Romania, daughter of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie. The infobox gives construction from 1936 to 1937, and the text says it was built in 1937. It was inaugurated on December 19, 1937. The infobox mentions Moorish Brancovan elements.
The article gives no materials or dimensions. Elisabeth used it as her residence until 1944. King Michael I moved in with his mother after the 1944 coup, and he abdicated on December 30, 1947, later saying he was forced at gunpoint. The palace fell into disuse in the socialist period, and a 2001 Senate bill gave it to the former king for life.
It is the official residence of Margareta, Custodian of the Romanian Crown. Since 2020 it has been open for guided tours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from July to September, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
