Revolution Square Revolution Square No Data

Description


The area in front of the former Communist Party Headquarters. In December 1989 the square was filled with people who had be brought in to be address by Nicolae Ceausescu from the 1st floor balcony of the headquarters building to make him look presidential and in control. Part way through the speech the crowd started chanting and heckling, it was the beginning of the end for the regime, but not before quite a lot of bloodshed on the streets of Bucharest and other cities. Today the square houses two memorials to those who were killed in the revolution. The still bullet marked buildings are another testament to the fighting that took place here.
