Agighiol, Port settlement and county capital in Northern Dobruja, Romania
Agighiol is a port city and county seat in Northern Dobruja along the Danube River. The town spreads along the river and contains facilities for handling cargo and river traffic.
The settlement has deep roots under its ancient name Aegyssus, when it served as an important point along the Danube. Over centuries it changed hands between different rulers before becoming part of Romania.
The name Tulcea comes from Turkish origins, reflecting the region's long connection to the Dobruja area. You can see this historical blend in the buildings and daily life throughout the town.
The city is easiest to reach by river, as it sits directly on the Danube. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring clothing suitable for all seasons.
A monument featuring an eagle and soldier statue stands in town, marking an important moment in Romanian history. It remains a landmark that visitors often overlook but worth discovering.
