Piaka Unirii (pass by)

Once a lively center of Jewish commercial life, this area became a forgotten corner during the communist period. Transformed under the dictator’s monumental urban vision, Union Square emerged as a vast, symmetrical square anchored by its grand fountain boulevard — an impressive yet poignant landscape built at the cost of demolished neighborhoods and the displacement of thousands of people.

Palace of Parliament (pass by)

From Union Square we will see from distance the Palace of Parliament, dictator's future palace, a colossal neoclassical landmark, standing as one of the most powerful reminders of Romania’s communist legacy — an immense, marble-clad structure whose scale and symmetry reflect the ambition and austerity of the era in which it was built.
