Cișmigiu Gardens, Public park in central Bucharest, Romania
The gardens extend across 14.6 hectares of landscaped grounds, featuring an artificial lake, wide paths, and numerous decorative flower arrangements throughout the space.
German landscape architect Wilhelm Meyer began the park's development in 1847, transforming a former fishing lake and vineyard into structured gardens for public recreation.
The Writers' Rotunda displays twelve stone busts of prominent Romanian literary figures, including Mihai Eminescu, Ion Creanga, and Nicolae Balcescu.
The park contains multiple entrances along Elisabeth Boulevard and Stirbei Voda Street, with boat rentals available at the lake during warm months.
The name Cismigiu derives from Turkish, referring to the public fountain administrator who lived on the grounds during the park's early development.
