The first written appearance of the name …

Years: 1459 - 1459

The first written appearance of the name Bucuresti dates from 1459, when it is recorded in a document of Vlad III Tepes, the ruler of Wallachia.

Vlad has built the fortress of Bucharest—the first of many fortifications—with the aim of holding back the Turks who are threatening the existence of the Wallachian state.
