Piaka Unirii
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.
7
Palace of Parliament
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.
