Carol Park, Urban park and historic monument in Bucharest, Romania.
Carol Park is a 45-hectare green space in Bucharest featuring wide alleys lined with lime trees, winding paths, and rose gardens throughout. A central lake with a marble bridge serves as the focal point, surrounded by ornamental shrubs and geometric boxwood arrangements.
French landscape architect Eduard Redont designed the park in 1906 to commemorate 40 years of King Carol I's reign over Romania. The design combined European garden traditions with the desire to express national strength and modernity.
The Mausoleum and Roman Arena within the grounds represent different chapters of Romanian national identity and pride. Visitors can see how these structures shape the way people connect to their country's story.
The park has multiple entrances well connected to public transportation, with the main access near Piata 11 Iunie. From this point, direct pathways guide visitors to major attractions, making navigation straightforward.
Two giant statues stand guard at the main entrance alley, serving as silent sentinels over the grounds. The geometric boxwood patterns along the central pathway have maintained their rhythmic arrangement for over a century.
