Călărași County occupies a lowland stretch of the Romanian Plain in southeastern Romania. Its southern edge follows the Danube, whose channels, floodplain lakes and islands contrast with the wide agricultural fields of the Bărăgan Plain. Farming remains central to local life, especially across the cereal-growing land long associated with this part of Wallachia. The county seat, Călărași, lies beside the Danube’s Borcea branch and is home to the Lower Danube Museum, which holds archaeological and ethnographic collections.
