Piața Muncii

Where the name comes from

A square

Piața Muncii (Labour Square), the old name of the square above, now Piața Eudoxiu Hurmuzachi.

The station keeps a name the square no longer bears. City Hall's register lists it as Piața Eudoxiu Hurmuzachi, after a Bukovinian historian, with Bariera Vergului, Vergului and Muncii as earlier names. City Hall documents in 2008 still called it 'Piața Hurmuzachi (Muncii)'.
