Drobeta-Turnu Severin
Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Port city and county capital in Mehedinți, Romania.
The city extends along the northern bank of the Danube River, forming a strategic point between Romania and Serbia at the Iron Gates region.
Emperor Trajan established a military stronghold at this location in 103 AD, constructing a monumental bridge designed by Apollodorus of Damascus across the Danube.
The Iron Gates Museum displays archaeological findings from Roman times, including artifacts from the ancient Dacian settlement and medieval fortress remains.
The central train station connects travelers to major Romanian cities, with regular services to Bucharest, Timișoara, and Craiova throughout the day.
Low water levels in the Danube reveal the stone pillars of Trajan's Bridge, an engineering achievement that connected the Roman Empire across the river.
