Copou Gardens
Junimea Alley in Copou

Type	Urban park
Location	Iaşi
Area	10 ha (25 acres)
Created	1834

The Copou Park or Copou Gardens is the oldest public park in Iaşi, Romania. Its development started between 1844 and 1834 under the reign of Mihail Sturdza, making the park one of the first historical public gardens created in Romania and a Iaşi landmark. In the centre of the gardens lies the Obelisk of Lions (1834), a 13.5 m (44 ft) tall obelisk dedicated to Regulamentul Organic, the first law on political, administrative and juridical organization in the Romanian Principalities.^[1]

The park now covers approximately 10 hectares and has been described as one of the most beautiful public gardens in Moldavia. ^[2] ^[3] Other landmarks include Eminescu's Linden Tree, the Mihai Eminescu Museum and the Junimea Alley.

A number of busts dedicated to various historic cultural figures decorate the alleys, and the gardens remain a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. O number of cultural events, including poetry festivals, photography exhibitions and other similar activities, are hosted here regularly.
