Common Sites Around Galaţi

This Orthodox Church was built in the mid 1600's
as both a church and a fortress against the Turks.
It overlooks the Dunarea (Danube) so they could see
the enemy coming across the river.

This is a big "Port Authority" ship in Galaţi port on
the Dunarea right on the Faleza where we love to walk.

This is a very common site . . . . a horse drawn cart
going down the road with cars all around . . .
and no body thinks it is strange.

This is the "view outside" for many in Galaţi and
many other cities. They are called "blocks" and it
was the communists way to know where everybody
was . . . right there in town where they should be.
Sure seems normal to us right now.
