Răcari occupies the low plain of southern Dâmbovița County beside the Colentina River, in Romania’s historic Wallachia. This small town lies north-west of Bucharest, in an agricultural setting where broad fields and village lanes define the local scale more than urban density. Its municipal area includes Ghergani, associated with the Ghica family; Ion Ghica, the 19th-century Romanian statesman and writer, lived on the family estate there. Răcari provides an introduction to the quieter settlements between Bucharest and Târgoviște, where Wallachia’s political and cultural past remains close at hand.
