Tulcea

Romania / Tulcea /
 city, municipality, county seat
Tulcea dates back to pre-Roman times, presumably as a Greek colony. It was called Aegyssus. The Romans conquered it in around 15-12 BCE and largely remade it.

After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Aegyssus was part of the Byzantine Empire, First Bulgarian Empire (681-1018), Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396), Genoa, a few smaller entities and then was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1416.

In 1878 the Congress of Berlin assigned Tulcea to Romania.

    Un oras frumos, in care din fericire nu s-au construit numai blocuri, ramanand destule zone de case! In plus, din fericire, cele 3 mari unitati industriale (ALUM, FEROM, Santier Naval) inca functioneaza! Din pacate, renumitele conserve de peste de Tulcea au disparut!
