Bucharest Metropolitan Circus, Circus building in Bucharest, Romania.
The Bucharest Metropolitan Circus is an entertainment building with a distinctive concrete dome supported by slender columns and large glass sections that light the foyer area. The structure holds about 1850 spectators and features modern architecture designed to be both functional and visually striking.
The building opened to the public in 1961, designed by architects Nicolae Porumbescu, Nicolae Pruncu, and Constantin Rulea. It was created during a period when cultural facilities in Bucharest were being modernized and expanded.
The venue draws families and children who gather to watch live performances by acrobats and performers. Shows here bring people of different ages together for shared entertainment and wonder.
The building sits on Circului Alley in Bucharest and is easily accessible by public transport. Tickets can be purchased through the official website and visitors should check the current schedule in advance.
The concrete dome was deliberately shaped to echo the canvas tents of traditional circuses. This architectural reference links the modern building visually to circus heritage.
