fix pass after the batch's independent check; no price or place value changed. Currency & Banking: the exchange rate also cites the ECB ninety-day history page that still prints the 19 October 2026 reference rates (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist-90d.xml), because the daily file no longer shows them. Must-See Landmarks, Historical Sites and Cultural Districts also cite the Wikipedia article, which shows the monastery's royal burials, the princely court ruins and the town centre around them; the travel guide cited before mentions none of these. Historic Buildings: the railway station was reworded from an unverifiable "most beautiful in Romania" claim to the Wikipedia description of the distinctive 1898 building by André Lecomte du Noüy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtea_de_Arge%C8%99).
