Târgoviște is a municipality in Romania that served as the capital of Wallachia between the 13th and 17th centuries. It is located in Dâmbovița County on the Ialomița River. The city first gained importance under Mircea the Old when the Royal Court was built, and Vlad III Dracula later added the Chindia Tower. However, after Constantin Brâncoveanu moved the capital to Bucharest, Târgoviște lost significance. Today it has a population of around 90,000 and remains an important transportation hub in Romania.
