It is a short show of colors and music, the show need a little bit of more synchronization and a little bit of work to make it nice. It will also be perfect if the show will be longer and run also during weekdays.

The mall is small compared to what I saw in Bucharest, Iasi and Timisoara. In general you can find here famous products with high of very prices but also cheaper like clothes from H&M and C&A. Also you cand find a small bowling hall with some electronic games and a food court. I mostly appreciate the Cinema, at least once a week me and my family we go to a movie. Viewing conditions are excellent and most of the time is not crowded at all.
Reccomended if outside is raining or you have nothing else to do at all.

Sfanta Vineri is a very beautiful church not far from downtown Pitesti. It was built between 1904 1nd 1908 and it has been recently restored. This church is almost a copy of the famous Curtea de Arges Monastry. Here you can admire a marvelous piece
of Orthodox architecture and you can also find moments of inner peace and collectedness.

The site of the infamous political prison of Pitesti, where over 600 students were tortured by the communists between 1949-1951. Pitesti Prison was buil in 1941 and it functioned as a prison until 1977. During its functioning, thousands of political prisoners were brought here. From 1949 until August 1951, the penitenciary housed the most violent action in the communist world - Pitesti Phenomenon.

If Pitesti is on your way (for example going to Poenari, Timisoara, East Rumania, etc) don't doubt it. Take a while and stop here in the Prisión Memorial.
Although the venues are not so "real"" as other prisons (because they have been already partially transformed for other purposes) the guided tour is really worthy. In our case, Maria made a very complete explanation, in very good English (she also know a bit of Spanish) of what happened there that made us feel what happened there indeed.
It's a small hidden place, but with a great value to understand history of the Communist Romania.
They need to improve the visit, may be more furniture, clothing, mannequins, models, videos,... of that period. But they are in the good way and the guided tour was great.
