Geocache Description:


EN

Bulevardul Unirii (Romanian: [buleˈvardul uˈnirij], Union Boulevard) is a major thoroughfare in central Bucharest, Romania. It connects Alba Iulia Square with Constitution Square, and also runs through Unification Square. The Constitution Square end features the Palace of the Parliament, which began construction simultaneously with the boulevard as an architectural unit.

Following the 1977 Vrancea earthquake, Bucharest's city center suffered significant damage, and a large number of historic buildings were demolished to make way for the new Centrul Civic (Civic Center; see systematization and Ceaușima). As part of the project, Bulevardul Unirii was to be Communist Romania's answer to Paris's Avenue des Champs-Élysées, with a length of 3,500 m. Construction began on June 25, 1984. Initially called Bulevardul Victoria Socialismului (Victory of Socialism Boulevard), the road is lined with socialist-realist apartment blocks of North Korean inspiration.

RO

Bulevardul Unirii este unul dintre cele mai importante bulevarde ale capitalei și una dintre cele mai tranzitate artere rutiere ale orașului. Bulevardul de mari dimensiuni reprezintă axul longitudinal al proiectului noului Centru Civic, demarat după Cutremurul din 1977, sub pretextul reconstruirii și reparării daunelor cauzate de seism în București. Plecând de la ideea remedierii pagubelor produse de cutremur, proiectul noului Centru Civic a fost folosit de regimul Nicolae Ceaușescu pentru a disipa influențele pe care le exercita centrul vechi, istoric al Bucureștiului asupra mediului citadin.
