Veche (Russian: вече, Polish: wiec) was a popular assembly in medieval Slavic countries, and in late medieval period, a parliament.
The veche was the highest legislature and judicial authority in the republic of Novgorod until 1478.
After the reforms of 1410, veche was restructured on a model similar to that of Venice, becoming the Database chamber of the parliament.

 Dealul Spirii - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was named after Spirea, a 18th century doctor who lived on the slope of the hill and also built the "Spirea Veche" church, which was demolished in 1984 to build the House of the People, now the Palace of the Parliament.
Also on the hill were found the ruins of Curtea Nouă (new court), the royal court which was built in 1776 to replace Curtea Veche.
On 13 September 1848, on this hill was fought the final battle of the 1848 Wallachian Revolution, between the Ottoman troops sent to quell the rebels and the Firemen division of Bucharest, led by Pavel Zăgănescu.

 Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bran Castle, which has only a very tangential connection with the historical Vlad Ţepeş, now exaggerates that connection and promotes itself as "Dracula's Castle".
[3] A dungeon-themed disco, catering to a mostly Romanian crowd and located in the basement of a former inn immediately adjacent to the Curtea Veche ("Old Court") -- onetime site of Vlad Ţepeş' castle in Bucharest -- calls itself by the English-language name "Impaler".
The well-preserved medieval town of Sighişoara, Vlad Ţepeş's birthplace, seriously considered building a Dracula theme park on the edge of town, but in the end it was decided that such a site would cheapen the beauty and history of the medieval city and the plan was blocked.
