Grădina Icoanei

Grădina Icoanei ("Icon's Garden") is a small park in central Bucharest, situated not far away from Piața Romană and Bulevardul Magheru. The park, located next to Gheorghe Cantacuzino Plaza in Sector 2 of the city, was inaugurated in 1873. The park has a surface area of 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) and attracts an average of 1,100 visitors on a weekend day. The Bulandra Theatre (the Toma Caragiu stage, Sala Toma Caragiu), Ioanid Park (now called "Ion Voicu"), the Icoanei Church, and the Anglican Church are located in the park's immediate vicinity. The name of the park comes from an icon of Mary, made by Filip Nicolau Argintarul in 1682; the icon, given by Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu to his wife, Doamna Marica, is today in the nave of Icoanei Church. The park is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
