Brăila

Brăila stretches from the left bank of the Danube into the Bărăgan Plain, encompassing a historic river port and the flat farmland of southeastern Romania. The Danube remains central to the city’s character: its quays and shipping links long connected Brăila with Black Sea trade and other Danubian ports. In 1836, Brăila was declared a free port, a status that drove major commercial growth during the nineteenth century. Its historic centre still recalls that mercantile era, while the broad river corridor gives the city a distinct Lower Danube setting.
