Overview

Tulcea is a city in Northern Dobruja, Romania. It is the administrative center of Tulcea County.

Tulcea was founded in the 7th century B.C. under the name of Aegyssus, mentioned in the documents of Procopius and Diodorus of Sicily (3rd century BC). In his Ex Ponto, Ovid recorded a local tradition that ascribed its name to a mythical founder, Aegisos the Caspian.

After the fighting from 12–15 AD the Romans conquered the town. They rebuilt it after their plans, their technique and architectural vision, reorganizing it.

The town was first documented under its modern name in 1506, in the Ottoman customs records. On that occasion it was described as an "important centre for the transit trade"

In 1878, after the end of the war, Tulcea was awarded to Romania, together with the rest of Northern Dobruja

Tulcea's climate is transitional between continental and temperate with cold winters and hot summers.

Tulcea is a city with seven hills, just like Rome, which means that there are many great places in Tulcea from which you can see the sunset. But one of the best is the north-eastern hill with the massive Monumentul Eroilor (Independence Monument)
