Galați

Few cities in Romania’s Lower Danube region have a history as closely tied to river commerce as Galați. Standing on the Danube’s left bank, it developed into an important port, and its designation as a free port in 1837 helped accelerate international trade. Broad riverside promenades keep the Danube at the centre of daily life, while working quays and passing vessels reflect the city’s continuing commercial role. Galați’s older landmarks include the fortified Church of the Virgin Mary, known as Precista, a 17th-century building with a distinctly defensive form.
