It was situated north of the Danube and south of the Carpathian Mountains.
Its neighbours were the Ottoman Empire to the south, Wallachia to the north-west and Moldavia to the north-east.
It was founded in 1290 by Ralph the Black (Radu Negru).
The capital city has changed over time, from Curtea de Arges to Targoviste and finally Bucharest.
In 1859, Wallachia voted to unite with Moldavia to form the state of Romania, under the rule of Alexander John Cuza.
