Flats in Vitan, overlooking the Mihai Bravu Boulevard
Vitan is a neighborhood in southeastern Bucharest, Romania, along the Dâmbovita River, located between Titan, Dristor, Centrul Civic, Oltenitei and Berceni.
Its name comes from the Romanian family name "Vitan", presumably a Transylvanian name.[citation needed] Though it is one of the oldest neighborhoods of Bucharest, it was for a long time notorious for its poverty. The Bucharest Mall is located in the north side of the neighbourhood. The now drained Vacaresti Lake is located on the right bank of the Dâmbovita and the use of the 3.06 square kilometres of land owned by the state (evaluated to about $650 million) is still undecided.
