Agighiol, Port settlement and county capital in Northern Dobruja, Romania

The Port of Tulcea extends across 83 acres along the Danube River, featuring 41 berths and specialized facilities for both industrial and commercial operations.

Founded in the 7th century BC as Aegyssus, the settlement became part of the Roman Moesian Limes defensive system before gaining its current name under Ottoman rule.

The annual George Georgescu Music Contest attracts international musicians to Tulcea, continuing a tradition established in 1992 to honor the Romanian conductor.

The port maintains a depth of 7.5 meters for bulk operations and requires specific documentation including Cargo Gear Certificates and Cargo Manifests for vessel entry.

The Monument of Independence features an obelisk topped with an eagle and soldier statue, marking the integration of Dobruja into Romania in 1879.
