The mission: Your story in Bucharest
The story begins in Bucharest in the 1800s, a city rich in legends, and the mystery surrounding a golden carriage remains unsolved even today.
According to legend, a carriage carrying a massive amount of gold arrived from Paris at the Obor market. The gold was so heavy that the wheels could barely support the weight and it was pulled by multiple horses. Despite being well guarded, the gold was stolen during the night.People heard a carriage at night but it disappeared on Oltarului street.
