• Revolution Square - Located in the heart of Bucharest on Calea Victoriei, Revolution Square was renamed following the Romanian Revolution of December 1989. This square is home to the former Central Committee building of the Romanian Communist Party, from which Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife escaped by helicopter on December 22, 1989. In 1990, the building became the Senate’s headquarters, and since 2006, it has housed the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform.
• Ceausescu Mansion - Ceausescu Mansion is a must-visit in Romania to grasp the double standards of the communist regime and the extreme cult of personality surrounding one of its most notorious dictators. Opened to the public in 2016, this mansion was one of the regime’s best-kept secrets during the harsh communist era. Only close family members and top party officials had access to Ceausescu’s residence. The secrecy is intriguing, considering he was hailed as the ‘first son of the nation’ leading Romania into a ‘Golden Age.’
• House of the Free Press - The House of the Free Press (Casa Presei Libere), previously known as Casa Scânteii, stands as a significant landmark in Bucharest, echoing the communist era. Constructed between 1952 and 1957, it served as the headquarters for the party’s publication, Scânteia, and was entirely under communist control. Following the 1989 Revolution, the building was renamed to reflect its new purpose. The architecture blends Russian Soviet styles with elements typical of Wallachian and Moldavian religious structures. Like many communist-era megastructures, its vast dimensions are striking, with the horizontal span notably surpassing the vertical, creating a significant visual impact.
• Bulevardul Carol I 68 - On December 22, 1989, Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena fled Bucharest as the anti-communist revolution began. They were arrested the same day and detained at a military base in Targoviste for three days. On December 25, they were tried for genocide in the same location, found guilty, and sentenced to death. They were executed in the building’s inner courtyard shortly after the trial concluded.
