During the 19th century, the predominant style in [[Wallachia]] and [[Moldavia]], later the [[Kingdom of Romania]], was [[Classicist architecture|Classicism]] which lasted for a long time, until the 20th century, although it coexisted in some short periods with other styles. Foreign architects and engineers were invited here since the first decade of the 19th century. Most of the architects that built during the beginning of the century were foreigners because Romanians did not have yet the instruction needed for designing buildings that were very different compared to the Romanian tradition. Usually using Classicism, they started building together with Romanian artisans, usually prepared in foreign schools or academies. Romanian architects studied in Western European schools as well. One example is [[Alexandru Orăscu]], one of the representatives of Neoclassicism in Romania.

Classicism manifested both in religious and secular architecture. A good example of secular architecture is the Știrbei Palace on [[Calea Victoriei]] ([[Bucharest]]), built around the year 1835, after the plans of French architect [[Michel Sanjouand]]. It received a new level in 1882, designed by Austrian architect [[Joseph Hartmann]]<ref>{{cite book|last1=Florea|first1=Vasile|title=Arta Românească de la Origini până în Prezent|date=2016|publisher=Litera|isbn=978-606-33-1053-9|pages=294, 296, 297|url=|language=}}</ref>{{sfn|Lăzărescu|Cristea|Lăzărescu|1972|p=67, 68}}
