Craiova, Regional capital city in southwestern Romania.
Craiova extends along the east bank of the Jiu River, featuring wide boulevards, spacious squares, and numerous parks throughout its urban landscape.
The city developed from a Roman settlement called Pelendava and later became the residence of military governors who controlled the region between 1400 and 1700.
The Nicolae Romanescu Park contains lakes, bridges, and monuments across 96 hectares, making it one of the largest natural parks in Eastern Europe.
The University of Craiova maintains eight faculties and enrolls more than 15,000 students, offering programs in engineering, sciences, economics, and humanities.
The Craiova Art Museum occupies the Dinu Mihail Palace, displaying collections of Romanian medieval art and European paintings from the Dutch and Italian schools.
