Seen in Baile Herculane

ROMANIA

     Seen in Baile Herculane captures the faded grandeur of historic buildings, once vibrant and now standing in quiet decay. These images document historic building photography in a place with deep roots, revealing both the strength and fragility of its architecture. Through this series, I hope to shine a light on the enduring charm of Baile Herculane, evoking nostalgia and respect for its history. This project also aims to raise awareness of the need to preserve these invaluable landmarks as part of Romania’s cultural heritage.
