Victoria
Street (Victory Street)
Victoria Street was named in the
past Podul Mogosoaia Street (Mogosoaia Bridge). It was built
at Constantin Brancoveanu’s orders in order to facilitate
the access between the Princely Palace situated on Dambovita
River embankment and his Mogosoaia estate. The street was
floored with wooden beams which may explain the former name
- Podul Mogosoaia (Mogosoaia Bridge). The present named is
dating from 1878 when the victorious Romanian army returned
from the Independence War and made its entrance in Bucharest
on this street.
