Victory Square, Public square in Bucharest, Romania

Victory Square is a public square in Bucharest where several major boulevards meet. It has an open layout with a small park on one side and a large government building on the other, and the ground is mostly paved with some grass and trees.

The square was named in 1878, but it had already appeared on maps before that. In the interwar period, the Victoria Palace was built behind the former Sturdza Palace, and after the bombing of 1944, the square was enlarged and a small park was created on the site of a destroyed building.

The square is a busy junction where people pass through on their way to work or to nearby parks, and its name is linked to Romania's victory in the War of Independence. Today it serves as a meeting point and a starting place for walks along the wide boulevards that lead north.

The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, and it serves as a useful landmark when exploring the northern part of the city. Cross the wide streets at the marked crossings and allow extra time, as traffic can be heavy throughout the day.

The square's shape changed after the bombing, when the area more than doubled in size. The small park now covers the spot where the Building of the Public Officials Association once stood.
