3. Welcome to Braila, Romania
Brăila (Romanian pronunciation: [brə’ila]) is a city in Muntenia, eastern Romania, a port on the Danube and the capital of Brăila Country, in the close vicinity of Galaţi.
A settlement at this location on the left bank of the Danube, in Wallachia, was mentioned with the name Drinago in a Spanish Libro de conoscimiento (“Book of knowledge”, circa 1350) and in several Catalan portolan charts (Angelino de Dalorto, 1325/1330 and Angelino Dulcert, 1339). This may have been an erroneous transcription of Brillago. In Greek documents of roughly that time, the city is referred to as Proilabum or Proilava, a Greek language adaptation of its Slavic name, Brailov.
As a kaza, the town and its surrounding area was controlled by Ottoman Turks from 1538–1540 until
1829 (it was restored to Wallachia through the Akkerman Convention); the Ottomans called it Ibrail or Ibraila.
During the 19th century, the port became one of the three most important ports on the Danube in Wallachia, the other two being Turnu and Giurgiu.The city’s greatest period of prosperity was at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century, when it was an important port for most of the merchandise coming in and going out of Romania.
