From the late 18th century onwards, the town was in the domain of the Ghica family of boyars, who remained an important presence in the area until the middle of the 20th century. The Ghica Palace (now housing the local museum), the park in front of the museum, and the railway stations are testimonies to their presence in the town.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the construction of the Orthodox Cathedral "Ascension of the Lord" was started, located in the center of Bacău, being the head of perspective for the two main arteries of the city, respectively N. Bălcescu Blvd. and Mihai Viteazu Street. The construction has a total length of 67 m, a width of 37 m and a maximum height of 63 m at the base of the cross on the main tower. The surface of the construction on the ground is about 950 sqm. From a planimetric point of view, the building was conformed respecting exactly the succession of the specific spaces of the Orthodox churches in Romania. The narthex, with 2 main accesses on the north and south sides, develops on several levels, being crowned by a starry dome of Stefanian inspiration. Above the nave, through a system of successive arches and domes, specific to Byzantine architecture, rises the dome of the pantocrator that crowns the monumental space of the cathedral. The interior architecture of the building combines the Byzantine tradition of the vaulted space, with the need to ascend to divinity specific to the towers of the pantocrator from the Romanian Orthodox churches. The exterior volume takes over the proportions of the Moldavian churches from the Middle Ages, being converted due to its size and time into a contemporary architecture, which combines tradition with many modern elements.

Cancicov Park in Bacău, with an area of ​​24.50 hectares, was arranged based on the Royal Decree of May 9, 1938, and is the most important green area in the center of the city. The systematization of Cancicov Park was started in 1935, as a result of a memorandum addressed to the city hall by several citizens from Bacău. The chosen place was the land between the "Pavel and Ana Cristea" Hospital, the railway and the old stadium. The landscaping project was prepared by the landscape architect Eduard Pinard, who is the basis for landscaping the park in the form known today, although in 1961-1962 it underwent several changes, due to the construction of the Summer Theater. The park was established by Royal Decree on May 9, 1938 at the request of the inhabitants of Bacău, and was originally called Carol Park. Until 1946, this park was known as the New Park or Eminescu Park, after which its name was changed to Liberty Park. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the park was named Cancicov Park, after the liberal Mircea Cancicov, who contributed to the urban development of the city. The legend circulated then that the land for this park was donated by Cancicov and, for this reason, it deserves to be given this name. Subsequently, documents were found attesting that the lands for the establishment of this park come from the former "land" of the city, agricultural plots in the exploitation of the citizens of Bacău. Several busts of personalities were placed in the park, including those of Mihai Eminescu, Ion Creangă, Costache Negri, Alecu Russo, Mircea Cancicov, Mihail Kogălniceanu and C. Pintea.
