Caracal

Caracal combines the open horizons of the Romanian Plain with a notably urban cultural tradition in a way that reflects its geographic position in southern Olt County. Set east of the Olt River, the city belongs to the broad lowland country of Oltenia, where farmland and regional roads have long connected local towns. At its centre, the National Theatre of Caracal, completed in 1901, remains a symbol of civic ambition and one of the city’s defining public buildings. Caracal is also associated with Iancu Jianu, the 19th-century outlaw and folk hero. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Caracal and Olt County.
