University Square (Romanian: Piața Universității) is located in Bucharest city centre, near the University of Bucharest. It is served by Universitate metro station.
Four statues can be found in the University Square, in front of the university; they depict Ion Heliade Rădulescu (1879), Michael the Brave (1874), Gheorghe Lazăr (1889) and Spiru Haret (1932).
The Ion Luca Caragiale Bucharest National Theatre and the Intercontinental Hotel (one of the tallest buildings in Bucharest) are also located near University Square.
University Square marks the northeastern boundary of the Old Center of Bucharest.
Since the end of 2014, after a project costing up to 65 million euros, the National Theatre has a new face, dominated by futuristic elements.[1]
