Brăila, Port city in southeastern Romania
Brăila spreads along the Danube River with streets radiating from the port center and intersecting concentric roads following old Turkish fortification layouts.
The settlement transformed from a small fishing village into a major trade center after receiving town status in 1400 through its strategic Danube location.
The Art Museum in the Palace of Culture and the Greek Church built between 1863 and 1872 represent the architectural heritage of this Romanian city.
The city connects to Bucharest through E60 and DN2B roads, with train journeys taking over three hours from the Romanian capital.
The underground network of catacombs, known as hrube, remains from Turkish occupation times and served for transporting goods directly to the river.
