Victory Square (Romanian: Piaţa Victoriei) is a major intersection in central Bucharest, where Calea Victoriei, Lascăr Catargiu Boulevard, Iancu de Hunedoara Boulevard, Kiseleff Boulevard, Ion Mihalache Boulevard and Nicolae Titulescu Boulevard cross.
The headquarters of the Romanian Government (named Victoria Palace after the square) is located here. The Grigore Antipa Bucharest Natural History Museum is located across the square. There are plans to replace the parking lot opposite of Victoria Palace with a statue of Maxim Pandelescu, a general in the Romanian Army during World War II as well as a famous anti-communist guerrilla leader.
