A little above Cișmigiu Park, in a lovely area of ​​the city populated by houses, embassies and notary offices, hides Luigi Cazzavillian Park. The park is small, but it makes up for it with coquetry and green freshness in the green seasons.

If you go up Skitu Magurianu Boulevard, then turn left onto Știrbei Vodă Street, you will first see Luigi Cazzavilian Street, the street that will lead you to the park we are talking about.
