Giurgiu, Port settlement and county capital on the Danube River, Romania.
The city of Giurgiu encompasses 5,388 hectares of land along the Danube River, featuring multiple islands that contribute to its natural port structure.
Established as a Roman settlement named Theodorapolis, Giurgiu transformed into a significant Ottoman fortress in 1420 and remained under Turkish control for several centuries.
The Local Council of Giurgiu Municipality, comprising 21 elected councilors, maintains the traditions and governance of this Danube River community.
The Giurgiu port operates 52 berths with an annual capacity of 30,000 TEUs, processing approximately 1.5 million tonnes of cargo through its facilities.
The construction of Romania's first railway line in 1869 connected Giurgiu to Bucharest, establishing the city as a primary transportation hub.
