Project environment:
Harbour city situated at the end of the maritime Danube. It is one of the oldest cities of Wallachia (region of Romania), first mentioned in an official document on January 20, 1368.
The city evolved from the little fishermen village that it was around 1300, to the harbour of intense commercial exchange, once the main commercial road of the country was established between Transilvania and the Black Sea.
During the Turkish administration (1538-1829) the harbour kept its importance, maintaining the traditional commercial links, the only difference being that most of the exported products were destined for Istanbul. During this period Brăila was the spiritual center of all the Christians living in the territories under Turkish administration.
The emancipation of the city and of the harbour is based on the falling of the Braila fortification, the most powerful Turkish fortress on the Lower Danube.
Brăila was rebuilt after a modern town-planning, which has made the city look original. The medieval settlement was systematized and the slopes of the ground, oriented in the shape of an amphitheatre facing the Danube, were put into value.
Once the harbour received the porto-franco status, in Brăila settled many Romanian and foreign merchants: Italians, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, British, French and Russians. The cosmopolitan character of the population, their prosperous situation, the attraction for the occidental civilization determined the town-planning and architecture. The buildings around the central square adorn the city and they mark its evolution throughout time. Monumental constructions expressing through their architecture the social status of the owners – great merchants, farmers and industrialists – are lined up along the streets of Brăila.
The old city center keeps alive the memory of many cultural and scientific personalities of European level who were born in Brăila thanks to the memorial houses and centers of the city. Hariclea Darclee, the legendary Romanian soprano, Panait Istrati, Romanian writer of both Romanian and French languages and Ana Aslan, specialist in gerontology are some examples of this kind.
Braila has a population of 216929 inhabitants. At the present moment in town there are about 50 schools, over 10 highschools and colleges, and 2 universities “Dunarea de Jos” si “Constantin Brancoveanu”, each with multiple sections. Since 2004 to 2008 took place The European Theatre Festival in Braila, once in 2 years. From 2008, this becomes an annual event. The town disposes of a major movie theatre, The Youth Cultural House, The Puppet Theatre, The District Library with a large book fund.
“Maria Filotti” Theatre in Braila was built in 1896 as “The Rally Theatre”. In 1919 it becomes “The Communal Theatre”, in 1949, “The State Theatre Braila-Galati”, si in 1969, obtains the present name, in honour of the Romanian actress Maria Filotti (1883-1956).
We underline the remarkable living together traditions of the population of diverse ethnic minorities in a harmony that can be promoted as a model on national and international level, what creates a harmonious frame of progress, which can represent a human valuable potential.
About the Braila district: localized in the S-E of the country, having a lowland relief, a temperate-continental climate and a population of 373199 inhabitants. People’s activities are: agriculture, constructions, transport, post office, communications, financial activities, real-estate transactions, public administration, health.
The Salt Lake is a commune of the Braila District. Inside the commune lies a salt lake and on its borders raised the station with the same name. The beginnings of the station dates from the 2nd half of the 19th century, the first establishments being described by the writer Alexandru Vlahuta in Picturesquely Romania. In the first years of the 20th century the station was connected with the city through a tram-way that works even today. In the inter-war period it had the statute of Royal Station.
