Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park, which Bucharest knows as IOR (after the optical works nearby) or simply Titan, was laid out between 1965 and 1970 as the great green space of the eastern districts. It wraps around Lake Titan, divided in two by the Liviu Rebreanu bridge and dotted with five small islands, and its trees turn russet and gold in October. On its edge stands the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, built of wood in the style of Maramureș in the 1990s. Our advice: come in autumn, take the metro to Titan and walk the shore towards the wooden church.
