Kiseleff Park
Bucharest, Romania
Kiseleff Park (Romanian: Parcul Kiseleff) is a public park in northern Bucharest (Sector 1). It is located on both sides of Șoseaua Kiseleff, within the triangle formed by Ion Mihalache Boulevard, Aviators Boulevard, and Ion Mincu Street. In 1915 the park was named after the Russian Count Pavel Kiselyov, who played a key role in the administrative reorganization of the Romanian Principalities and contributed to various urban development projects, including the beautification of Bucharest. The name was converted from Kiselyov to Kiseleff, using the French transliteration of Russian names at the time.
