Cismigiu Gardens
The Cişmigiu Gardens are a public park near the center of Bucharest, Romania, the major park of the city center. Built in 1847 on land bequeathed to the city in 1845 by a Turkish water inspector, and designed by the German architect Carl F.W. Meyer , it predated the similarly-designed parks in many United States cities, such as those of Olmsted.
The word "cişmigiu" reportedly comes from a Turkish word for a natural spring.
