“The central building of the University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences and Technology (UMFST) “George Emil Palade” in Târgu Mures is the subject of a substantial rehabilitation that will end in the fall of this year. The festive hall of the university provided a big surprise the other day. During the renovation works, under the current painting, a series of paintings of inestimable value were discovered, covered by the current paint: life-size ruler Mihai Viteazul, the coats of arms of the Kingdom of Romania from 1881-1922, as well as a series of specific decorations that cover both the walls and the ceiling of the hall”, wrote the rector Leonard Azamfirei in a post on Facebook.
As a result of this discovery, emphasized the rector of UMFST Târgu Mureş, the building, which has the status of a historical monument, will be evaluated by experts in the field of protecting historical monuments, and the festive hall will be renovated in such a way that it will be brought to the form in which this was in the period 1920-1940, when the university building housed the “Mihai Viteazul” Military High School.
“The university has in its own archive a photo of the Festive Hall from the interwar period, when the high school chapel functioned there, whose details perfectly overlap with the recently discovered images, a document that will form the basis of the rehabilitation project (…) Today, August 9 , it is 421 years since the death of Mihai Viteazul (1558-1601)”, the post also mentions.
