Cismigiu Garden One of Bucharest's erstwhile parks is still enchanting visitors with its beauty. Cismigiu is the capital's oldest public garden. Its unique charm has won the hearts of the inhabitants of Bucharest who have strolled along its paths throughout the years
Around 1830, General Pavel Kiseleff, ordered Baron Borroczyn to dry up the pool and make a public garden. This project was completed later, during the reign of Gheorghe Bibescu, by the Viennese landscape architect Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Meyer. The talented and hard-working youth fairly fought a battle with Cismigiu's swamps, subduing these and managing to transform this unsightly place into a veritable jewel.
Meyer used the pool, transforming it into a beautiful lake, with full canalization to allow for easy drainage and cleaning, and installing an artesian well in its midst. In winter, to the great delight of the people of Bucharest, the lake becomes a huge ice rink. It was this same man who carved out the paths, using every elevation for a more beautiful view of the whole. There are over 30 000 indigenous trees, some very rare ones. Artificial grottoes, floral carpets, and bridges were created, and benches were installed
