Romania is a country with an extremely rich architectural heritage. I think in per capita terms it is one of the richest in Europe.

And the future seem dark, I heard that this year the budget for the restoration and conservation of old buildings was 0 (zero), quite incredible for an EU country. |

Sulina is a town and free port in Romania, at the mouth of the Sulina branch of the Danube. It is the easternmost point of Romania.
The waters of the Danube, which flow into the Black Sea, form the largest and best preserved of Europe's deltas. Once a prosperous port and important shipyard, from 1856 to 1939 the seat of the Danube Commission, Sulina has become a disadvantaged location. The reason is that the town has no road access, the only way to reach it is by boat that leaves Tulcea and goes along the Sulina branch of the Danube. This keeps the tourists wanting a quiet vacation at the seaside at low numbers. image hosted on flickr ![]() image hosted on flickr ![]() Flickr The Last edited by city_of_joy; October 17th, 2009 at 12:35 PM. |

Baile Herculane on Cerna Valley
During the 165 years of Roman domination of Dacia, the Herculaneum Spa was known all over the Empire. Unearthed stone carvings show that visiting Roman aristocrats turned the town into a Roman leisure center. Six statues of Hercules from the time have been discovered. A bronze replica of one of them, molded in 1874, stands as a landmark in the town center. image hosted on flickr ![]() Flickr Last edited by city_of_joy; October 18th, 2009 at 12:20 PM. |
