Lonely Planet review for Piaţa Universităţii

Some of the fiercest fighting during the 1989 Revolution took place at Piaţa Universităţii. Journalists watched tanks roll over Romanian freedom fighters and soldiers shoot into crowds of protestors from their viewpoint inside Hotel Inter-Continental. Scour the area and you'll find bullet marks in buildings and 10 stone crosses commemorating those killed. Piaţa Universităţii (sometimes called 'Piaţa Tiananmen') is the hub of Bucharest's intellectual and political life.

The main university building, built in 1856-68 and inaugurated in 1869, is on the northwestern corner.
