Cotroceni Palace, former royal palace, now, the presidential palace and museum.
There are several large buildings in Bucharest, built in that neo-romanian style. I am sorry I couldn't find one. Anyway, the right wing of the Cotroceni Palace is an old one, built in this style.

These two buildings are across the street, Victory Avenue. The right building is the History Museum (former Post Palace)
