About the place
The park was laid out between 1900 and 1906 to plans by the landscape architect Édouard Redont and opened in 1906 with the General Romanian Exhibition, held for the 40th year of King Carol I's reign. Surviving from that time are the Giants statues and the water tower known as Vlad Țepeș's Castle, both from 1906; the park also holds the Dimitrie Leonida Technical Museum and the Cantacuzino Fountain of 1870.
The central avenue climbs to the plateau of the Mausoleum, built in 1962 as a monument of the communist regime and now known as the Heroes' Monument. In front of it lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of 1923, brought back from Mărășești in 1991. The park has a lake and many shaded paths, and holds 4.6 on Google from more than 18,900 reviews.
