Anton Pann Memorial House
Anton Pann Memorial House, from Știrbei Vodă Street no. 18 in Râmnicu Vâlcea, is a town house from the middle of the eighteenth century, with an open porch and a cellar. Anton Pann, the author of the collection "Povestea vorbei", lived in the city between 1826 and 1828 and between 1836 and 1840, and in 1827 he was appointed professor of church music at the seminary.
The first room shows the modest dwelling of a merchant from the middle of the nineteenth century, with a divan, bookcase and pewter and brass objects. The second one has painted furniture from Transylvania, and the last one exhibits Anton Pann's books, such as "Povestea vorbei" (1847) and "Nastratin Hogea" (1853). In 1982, the house was moved 37 meters from its original place.
