NICOLAE ROMANESCU PARK

Located to the south of the city, it's one of the largest and most beautiful in the country, covering more than 90 hectares. Designed by French architect Édouard Redont, it was inaugurated in 1903. Set around a lake, it's a very pleasant place, but it gets crowded on Sundays, when families flock to its paths and small zoo. Among the trees and statues, terraces welcome strollers in summer. The park also boasts a suspension bridge dating from 1901-1902 and the ruins of an "enchanted castle"(Castelul fermecat), built around the same time.
