Developed starting 1833, at the time when Iaşi was the capital of Moldavia, the park was designed by Gheorghe Asachi and Mihail Singurov. The garden was enlarged in 1849 and then in 1852, and in 1860 street lamps were installed here for the first time.
The park has an area of over 10 hectares and includes the oldest monument in Romania, Obelisk of Lions (1834), a 13.5 m (44 ft) tall obelisk, dedicated to the Law of Organic Rules, the first law on political, administrative and juridical organization in Romanian Principalities,
