Eroilor Park (Heroes Park), Bucharest

Eroilor Park is one of the best maintained parks in Bucharest, due to its privileged location in the city, close to the center and one minute away from Opera Square. The area is almost mythical because the blue sky above is reflected not in the water but in the gloss of the blue painted asphalt.

The area saw a remarkable development after the 1920s when the beautiful villas were built around, and providing the area with a peculiar shade. Eroilor Park is enclosed within the triangle formed by Dr. Rainer Street, Eroilor Sanitari Boulevard (Medical Heroes Boulevard) and the Independence Embankment. Apart from greenery, the area is marked by the presence of the Medical Heroes Monument. It is dedicated to doctors, medical assistants and nurses who participated in the First World War. The statuary group was inaugurated in 1932, four years after its creator, Raffaello Romanelli, had died.
