Giulești

Giulești (Romanian pronunciation: [dʒjuˈleʃtʲ]) is a neighbourhood in northwestern Bucharest, located in Sector 6.

The area was inhabited for millennia and it gives its name to the neolithic Giulești-Boian culture, the middle phase of the Boian culture, which inhabited in the 4th millennium BC Muntenia and later expanded into southern Moldavia and southern Transylvania.

In the early 1960s a number of 4 storey apartment buildings were raised in the era, initially named as the Constructorilor housing estate.

A few years later on the Giulesti avenue in the mid 1960s 8 storey apartment buildings were raised, along with the Prunaru market next to the stadium.

It wasn't until the 1980s when mass demolition commenced, replacing old houses with standardised apartment blocks.
