Braila Fast Facts

Name: Brăila (pronounced: /bɹəˈiːlə)

Location: Eastern Romania

Elevation: 65 ft. (20 meters)

Inhabited since: 4th century BC

First documented: 1300s

Braila Sights and Landmarks

Settlement of Brăila, located on the banks of the Danube River, was first mentioned in several Catalan portolan (nautical) charts around year 1325 and in the 1350 Spanish Libro de conoscimiento ( Book of knowledge) with the name of Drinago. Greek documents refer to the town as Proilabum or Proilava, an adaptation of its Slavic name, Brailov. From 1538-1540 until 1829 the town and its surroundings were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, who changed its name into Ibraila.

During the 19th century, the town became one of the three most important ports on the Danube River in the region of Walachia, the other two being Turnu Magurele and Giurgiu. Most of the goods exported from Romania where loaded and shipped from here.

Brăila's Old Town, severely damaged in 1828 during the Russo-Turkish war and rebuilt in the 1830s, retains some of its 19th century grandeur when successful businessmen built elegant villas and mansions.

Romanian physician, Prof. Ana Aslan, founder of Romania's Geriatric Institute and inventor of the anti-aging Gerovital H3 formula and musician Johnny Raducanu, Romania's very own Louis Armstrong, founder of the Romanian Jazz School, were born in Brăila.

Brăila Old Town, centered around Traian Square ( Piața Traian) features several points of interest: the Romanian Orthodox Church(Biserica Sf. Mihail si Gravril) which served as mosque during the Ottoman rule; Greek Church built between 1862 and 1872, displaying frescoes painted in 1890 by Romanian artist Gheorghe Tătărescu; St. Nicholas Church(Biserica Sf. Nicolae) - 1865, the 19th century Maria Filotti Theatre - named after actress, Maria Filotti (1883-1956), Brăila County Museum, historic Water Tower.

For a view of the nearby Macin Mountains, stroll through Braila's public park or the Danube River Promenade, a 5 miles walkway along River Danube.
