Dominated by the colossal Palace of Parliament, the Bulevardul Unirii was intended to rival Champs Elysees but is mostly interesting for its old fashioned Communist architecture.
Ceausescu had grandiose ideas, and one of them was to reconstruct Bucharest with a socialist vision in mind. It is no secret that Ceausescu was a good friend and admirer of Kim il Sung, and his most megalomanic ideas were probably born in Pyongyang. The latter a city with wide boulevards (without traffic), statues and monuments everywhere; it was soon clear Bucharest needed some major works to allow for similar constructions. Those major works were indeed carried out, entire neighbourhoods were razed to accomodate the building of the Centru Civic. This was to be the district for the state administration, and the boulevard had to impress everyone: it was deliberately designed to be just larger than the Champs Elysees in Paris.
