      .. It was built after Paris, alot of french architects were invited to build the city.
      Romanians wanted it to be the little Paris because they wanted to show that they are latins, not slavic like their neighbours.
      Also there were the french obsession back in the time, people used french words or accents while speaking romanian.

      Well Bucharest was built like this as a sign to "Hey guys, we are latins!" to promote national pride and identity.
      Also today romanians in Transylvania are very proud of their saxon heritage in architecture. Romania is multicultural and that's why it's very beautiful, here living in peace people with some of the oldest cultures in the world.

    I just returned from an eleven day visit to Romania, and could not get enough of it. It is a wonderfully beautiful country with friendly people and delicious, unpretentious food. Bucharest is majestic with stunning architecture and grand boulevards. But sadly there is a shocking amount of hideous graffiti almost everywhere. The city fathers MUST educate its citizens to take greater pride in their city and preserve and celebrate, rather than degrade and demean its glorious architectural legacy. I can't wait to return and see more of the country!

      I believe it's because graffiti is legal, which honestly I don't have a problem with, but I wish all the new artists would practice at home first. You can tell if you keep visiting the same ones, the artists will always return to cover over it and do it better.

    That area is the oId town aka Lipscani.. It used to be bigger in the past.. but they wanted to build new buildings so that area shrinked in time till what it is now 😂 (they stopped at where it is now). Its a part of our history and usually attracts tourists (so they needed to still keep a part of it). Sadly we didnt build more buildings like the ones from there.

    Unfortunately during the dictatorship of Ceausescu many of the buildings in Bucharest that made it the little Paris of the east were demolished and replaced with horrendously ugly concrete buildings. old town is the only part that would have resembled what Bucharest as a whole would have looked like if not demolished by Ceausescu. people in Bucharest would actually transport old Church's to other parts of the city in fear that they were going to be demolished and replaced with the ugly grey buildings, I have no idea how they did it but they attached the church to rails and moved them like that. it really saddens me, I would have loved to see how Bucharest looked like originally to be named the little Paris of the east.
