The \u201cMatache M\u0103celaru\u201d and “Alexandru Moghioro\u015f” Markets in Bucharest<\/yt-formatted-string><\/h2>\n

The \u201cMatache M\u0103celaru\u201d Market is located within walking distance from North Station, the main train station in Bucharest, at the crossroads of Calea Grivi\u021bei and Calea Buze\u0219ti, the favourite place of merchants and tradesmen in the late 19th Century. One of them was butcher Loloescu Matache. He started doing business in the wake of the Romanian War of Independence, around 1879, when he started building the famous Matache hall, which has recently been demolished. Back then, the market was located on the outskirts of Bucharest. In 1948, it became the \u201cIlie Pintilie\u201d state-owned market, named after a former Romanian communist leader.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cDrumul Taberei\u201d district in Bucharest, the main market has borne the name of another communist politician, Alexandru Moghioro\u015f, for a long time. Soon after the fall of communism, it was renamed after the famous Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache. Going beyond its name, it is still the market of choice for the district dwellers.<\/p>\n
