Carol Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carol Park (Romanian: Parcul Carol) is a public park in Bucharest, Romania, named after King Carol I of Romania.
The park was designed by French landscape artist Édouard Redont in 1900, and inaugurated in 1906. The park had an initial surface area of 360,000m², with a 20,000m² lake in the middle.
It contains both the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Monument of the Heroes for the Freedom of the People and of the Motherland, for Socialism, where some of Romania's most prominent Communist leaders were buried until the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
