Harcea Parcea - There is hope 2021

Coming from Braila to Galati, on water or on land, from a distance one can see the TVTower, a unique construction in Romania and similar to two other towers, one in Toronto, Canada and the other in Berlin, Germany. The main attraction of the tower is the panoramic view of the area. From inside the dome can be seen in the clear days the Danube course, the Dobrogea Mountains, but also a large part of the Republic of Moldova, beyond Giurgiulesti. The tower is made of reinforced concrete, consisting of a high column, through which is the elevator that climbs to the top of the tower where there is a three-storey modular, cylindrical construction comprising a restaurant and also relays and television installations.

Designed in the middle of the 20th century for tourist purposes and to improve the motorized traffic, the Danube Promenade represents one of the most important tourist attractions in Galaţi. The two stairs – the upper and lower promenade – were built following the consolidation of a relatively unstable relief (a loess bed established thousands of years ago). It stretches over a length of about 4 kilometers, parallel to the Danube course, which makes the promenade from Galaţi the longest promenade of Europe (on the Danube course). The promenade is not just the delight of tourists: locals who maintain an active lifestyle come to the promenade for jogging, to exercise outdoors, to go cycling, or to go rollerblading. From the ferry to the Navigation Palace (the two ends of the promenade), regardless of the weather or crowdedness, the promenade is the outdoor sports ground of the Galați rezidents. But the promenade is also inspiration for the amateur and professional photographers, the Danube Promenade offers some of the most interesting and spectacular frames of Galaţi.

The Dacian-Roman archaeological site of Tirighina-Barboşi is located on the West of Galați, near the road to Tecuci and Brăila, DN25. The first field research at Bărboși were made by Gheorghe Săulescu and the systematic archaeological research was initiated by Vasile Pârvan in 1912 and continued by Gheorghe Ştefan in 1935 - 1936. In the settlement were discovered surface housing once built of wooden poles, wickers, crinkle pomp and cottages. N. Gostar, Silviu Sanie and Şeiva Sanie discovered in 1963 a cultic area of archaeological significance by the presence of six wooden drums, disposed on two alignments, like the sanctuary discovered at Zargedava. The research had wonderful results in terms of archaeological material. During the numerous archaeological campaigns carried out on this site, material testimonies (ceramics, iron tools, weapons, ornaments and clothing accessories, statuettes, column fragments, etc.) were collected, enriching the scientific knowledge of the historyical human civilization from these places.
