Alexandria

Alexandria occupies a lowland position on the Vedea River in southern Romania’s Teleorman County. As the county seat, it is an administrative and commercial centre for the agricultural plain between Bucharest and the Danube. The town was founded in 1834 and named for Prince Alexandru II Ghica, giving this relatively young urban centre a different story from Romania’s medieval towns. Broad streets and public institutions shape its central districts, while the Teleorman County Museum preserves material connected with the area’s archaeology, ethnography and local past. Alexandria also provides a useful introduction to the measured rhythm of rural Wallachia, where fields and small settlements extend across the Romanian Plain.
