Șoseaua Kiseleff (Kiseleff Road) is a major road inBucharest,Romania. Situated inSector 1, the boulevard runs as a northward continuation ofCalea Victoriei.
The road was created in 1832 byPavel Kiselyov, the commander of theRussian occupation troops inWallachia andMoldavia. The name was converted from Kiselyov to Kiseleff, using theFrenchtransliteration ofRussian names at the time.
The area was not affected by theCeaușimasystematization plans and demolitions ofNicolae Ceaușescu, and has many pre-World War II residences.
Victory Square (Piața Victoriei) and Free Press Square (Piața Presei Libere) stand at its two extreme points. The street has numerous museums, parks (Kiseleff Park andHerăstrău Park), grand residences, and theArcul de Triumf along it between those end points.
