Summary/Abstract: The article presents new data from the history of the municipality of Buzău. The research focuses, in particular, on the history of the material heritage of the municipality of Buzău. The history of the parks in the city of Buzău before the First World War and of the Municipal Palace after 1944 is being reconstructed. During the years of the Old Kingdom, the city of Buzau experienced an interesting modernization process. In the years before the First World War, The mayors of Buzău tried in the years before the First World War to bring the city up to European standards. After 1877, Buzăul began a series of modernization and beautification actions. As a result, the appearance of the city has changed quite a bit. The town hall paid attention to the maintenance of public parks, by planting saplings, installing statues and recreational buildings. The Grove also entered the views of the city councils to be transformed into a real public garden. During the Second World War, until August 1944, Buzăul was relatively little affected. After August 23, the situation changed dramatically, and heavy battles were fought with the German army on the territory of the city. On August 27, 1944, the Municipal Palace burned completely. The local authorities began, in the fall of 1944, the works to restore it. In 1949, the restoration of the Municipal Palace was completed, but for financial reasons, the interior was never authentically restored. However, the Municipal Palace was reborn, to the joy of the residents.
