I think this boulevard deserves its own thread. We have a luxurious architecture on and around this boulevard which is pretty unique in Bucharest:


Şoseaua Kiseleff (Kiseleff Road) is a major road in Bucharest that runs as a northward continuation of Calea Victoriei. The road was created in 1832 by Pavel Kiselyov, the commander of the Russian occupation troops in Wallachia and Moldavia. The name was converted from Kiselyov to Kiseleff, using the French transliteration of Russian names at the time.


Şoseaua Kiseleff
(seen from Arcul de Triumf)
Nowadays, Piaţa Victoriei and Piaţa Presei Libere stand at its two extreme points, with numerous museums, parks (Kiseleff and Herăstrău), grand residences, and Arcul de Triumf in between. The area was not affected by Ceauşescu's systematization plans and it has many pre-World War II houses.
Notable buildings on this road include:
The Museum of the Romanian Peasant
The Geology Museum
The Grigore Antipa Natural History Museum
The Village Museum
The headquarters of the Social Democratic Party
Palatul Prinţului Moştenitor, currently the headquarters of ING Bank Romania
The embassies of Belarus, Peru, Canada and Russia and the residence of the United States ambassador Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Eoseaua_Kiseleff)

Palatul Kiseleff, actualmente sediul INK Bank, a fost o casă boierească - Candiano Popescu - fiind ulterior cumpărată de regele Carol şi modificată în 1910, în stil neoromânesc, devenind palat, în care a locuit familia regală până la naţionalizare.

Thank you for starting the thread, Le Clerk. It is probably the most beautiful boulevard in Romania. :cheers:
Though I hate the Soviet style of the Russian embassy, not to mention the atomic bunker style of the Canadian one. :bash:

I personally like the Canadian one very much. And yes, the Russian Embassy's architecture fits well the building's purpose.

The color chosen for the Canadian embassy sucks!

Bre, Ayceman, zi-le la colegii tai la modu' prietenesc ca e o rusine ce se intampla cu cladirea aia superba de vis-a-vis de Universitate unde isi au reclamele PSD si PNL puse. Toata zona a fost renovata incet incet, numai cladirea aia e o bataie de joc. Chiar face reclama negativa PSD si PNL, ca si cum nu ar fi oameni gospodari. Ce naiba!

Pai da ce , sunt oameni gospodari ?
Degradarea cladirii exprima cel mai bine degradarea partidelor politice (in general).

1. Care colegi? :nuts:
2. Mă enervează și pe mine cum arată clădirea aia.

The Russian Embassy is the only building in the area with an electric barbed wire fence. Gotta give it to them Russians, they just don't give a crap!
