Giuleşti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the commune of Giuleşti, see: Giuleşti, Maramureş.
Giuleşti (pronounced /ʤju.leʃtʲ/) is a neighbourhood in northwestern Bucharest. Its name is probably derived from the personal name Giula (of Hungarian origin, from Gyula) with suffix -eşti. The Giuleşti Stadium, Giuleşti Theatre, Podul Grant, Gara de Nord are located in Giuleşti. Also, the Griviţa Railway Yards and Lacul Morii are located nearby.
The area was inhabited for millennia and it gives its name to the neolithic Giuleşti-Boian culture, the middle phase of the Boian culture, which inhabited in the 4th millennium BC Muntenia and later expanded into southern Moldavia and southern Transylvania.
In medieval age it was a village, which later was included in the Chiajna commune, but it was included in the administration area of Bucharest in 1939.
