Summary/Abstract: Calea Moșilor, also known as the Road of the OutsideFair, – was and should once again become a significantroute in the Historic Center of Bucharest. Its culturalvalue, set clear by buildings with an enormous historicalsignificance (such as New St. George`s Church, theSaints` Church, Răzvan Church and Old St. George`sChurch), is obvious. The traditional commercial routethat tied the buildings that still exist, even though theyare severely damaged, had the main function of accommodation(inns) for merchants and traders that came tothe Obor Market.Identifying historically valuable elements and developmentopportunities in this traditional route could bepossible with the involvement of the political elementwhich is responsible for managing the salvaging buildingsthat hold historical significance for the community.For this specific area whose main route is Calea Moșilor,the major intervention should concern its inclusion inthe tourist route of the city by developing noise-reducingfunctions that complement residual spaces from theexisting building inventory, thus rejuvenating its pastaccommodation purpose and bringing back to life aspecific local atmosphere and its continuity throughoutthe city.
