history
In the past, Calea Rahovei Street was the main route to Alexandria as Podul Calicilor Street or Flower Traders' Way ( Drumul Florăreselor in Romanian ) . Podul , in Romanian the strong declination of pod , means bridge in German and comes from the tree trunks that were paved with the road as it was cheaper than stone. Podul Calicilor was full of homeless people and poor people, but the police sent them away and renamed the street Calea Craiovei to wash away the bad name.
trade
This neighborhood is home to the Liberty Center ( shopping mall ), Rahova Market, Niky Scorpion, Commercial Complex (in the Mărgeanului Zone), Kaufland (Sebastian Zone) and many small shops on Calea Rahovei Street. One point of attraction is the flower market, behind the Coșbuc market. This still reminds of the old name of the zone. The building of the former commodity exchange , now an architectural heritage , can now be recognized as The Ark, has been fundamentally rebuilt and shows the industrial architectural style from the 19th century on the outside.
