Bucharest In Your Pocket - Piaţa Unirii

http://bucharest.inyourpocket.com
Piaţa Unirii is the centre of Nicolae Ceausescus Civic Centre (Centru Civic). Piaţa Unirii has in fact been around for as long as Bucharest has existed: there was a market here as early as the 16th century. Todays square is unrecognizable from that which stood here before 1976. Back then it was surrounded by low-rise houses, shops, and the early-19th century Hanul lui Manuc. The Hanul is now all that remains: two sides of the square are faced by apartment blocks, while on the eastern side is Unirea: the countrys first department store when opened in 1977, and today a modern shopping centre. The once lively daily market that operated in the centre of the square is now hidden behind Unirea.

@aldoileanumeliber

amice, comunistii nu au construit nimic din ce ai enumerat, cu exceptia blocurilor, care sunt de cacat si nu pot fi comparate cu cladirile ce au fost daramate pt a fi ridicate. in fiecare stat comunist s-a preluat vechea infrastructura, in cel mai bun caz au efectuat lucrari de mentenanta. era politica tuturor partidelor comuniste sa nu construiasca drumuri, deoarece moscova credea ca au evitat infrangerea in fata germanilor datorita lipsei infrastructurii.

@marrius1993 it isn't truth...Comunists and N.Ceausescu had built a new Romania, had sent people to work and to learn (even a high school). The current leadership hadn't done anything since it took the "power"...Good luck ! :)
