Carol Park Mausoleum, Bucharest, Memorial monument in Carol Park, Bucharest, Romania.
The mausoleum features a circular base of black granite with five narrow arches covered in red granite, rising 48 meters above Carol Park.
Constructed in 1963, the monument initially contained crypts of Communist leaders before being transformed into a memorial for unknown soldiers in 1991.
The structure represents a significant shift in Romanian memorial architecture, combining Soviet influences with local commemorative traditions.
Visitors can access the memorial complex through Carol Park's main entrance, with guided tours available during regular opening hours.
The interior rotunda displays golden mosaic ceiling decorations and red granite plates, creating specific lighting effects throughout different times of day.
