The Cişmigiu Garden is a public park in the heart of Bucharest, Romania, the oldest and largest park (17 hectares) of the city center.
It was 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.
The word cişmigiu comes from Turkish: a cişmea is a public fountain and a cişmigiu used to be the person responsible for building and maintaining public fountains.
