Primăverii

Primăverii neighborhood (“Springtime”) is a district situated in the north of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, in Sector 1.

The district is relatively new and was built on the old "Grădina Bordei" park which was situated on the outskirts of the city at the beginning of the 20th century.

The park was given as a wedding present to his daughter Caliopi by Constantin Hrisoscoleu, when she married Petrache Poenaru.

These houses, which had large gardens in the back, were surrounded by tall walls and heavily guarded by the Romanian police at the time, called Miliția.
