" Braila, city and county, represent a
space of vivacity and energy in the country’s
life.
Only the bravest and the meekest Romanians
could resist there, under the Turks.
After the liberation, the only people who
ran there were the ones able to be the
founders and the defenders of the new order of
life. Thus, a Braila race was born. This race keeps
on existing, no matter how long the families would
interfere with the immigrants. Both in culture and
politics, this race presents its qualities that the
country, apathetic, needs more than ever. The youth
has a duty to carry out here, that cannot be confused
with the others’ one“

Situated on the left bank of the Danube river, with a
„venerable” age of 638 years, Braila has always represented the
place where water and land join in harmoniously and the sun
pours its richness of light and warmth.
The geographical position is very generous both for the
county and for the municipality, Braila being situated in the
south-eastern part of the country, between the coordinates of
44° 44' and 45° 30' north latitude and 27° 04' and 28° 10' east
longitude, on a surface of 4.766km2. In the Plain, Braila County
occupies, in the north, a part of the Meadow of the Lower Siret ,
close to which the Baraganului Plain spreads, in the west, small
parts of Salcioara Plain and Buzaului Plain, and in the east the
Big Island of Braila. It can be said that the county is surrounded
by the waters of some important rivers such as Siret, Buzau,
together with the old river of the Danube that, splitting into two
branches, make the Big Island of Braila.

It is interesting to mention that Braila, due to its position and history, has always had a cosmopolite
character, of cultural and ethnic mosaic, given by the presence of numerous ethnical communities on this land.
Former Turkish raya for a period of more than three centuries, being in the way of the Russian, Austrian, Turkish,
Romanian wars, Braila was destroyed and reborn out from its own ash many times.
The real flourishing of the town took place after the Adrianopolis
Treaty in 1829, when Braila rejoined the mother country. During the
second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century,
Braila made remarkable progress, first of all economically. The
cohabitation of Romanians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, Armenians and
Jews offered a picturesque note to this important port of the Danube, as a
space of genuine European civilisation.
The Free Zone statute obtained in 1836 created good conditions for a very
intensive transit trade, a great amount of Romanian and foreign goods being brought
in Braila’s ware-houses, both for import and export. Due to its favorable position ,
Braila was last important seaport on the Danube where maritime ships could come.
The city knew its golden period between 1836 and 1894, when it became a turn table
in the international trade changes on the Lower Danube. History, as well as the
commercial benefits, turned the city into a place where many nationalities met and
lived together. A large number of Romanian and foreign merchants, English, French,
Greek, Italians, Jews, Lippovans came to Braila, finding here the people and the space
that helped them to keep their own religions and traditions.

At Braila some ‘premieres’ were recorded, such as: one of the first
Romanian cities that used public lighting, reinforced concrete was used for
the first time for building wharves and piers, the first electric plant was
built only thirteen years after Edison’s invention, Braila was the first
Romanian city to have electric trams. All these place Braila in the
vanguard of the cities of the time.
From old times, Braila’s inhabitants have always had agriculture, breeding and fishing on the western bank of the
Danube as main activities. A sailing ship. the symbol of Braila city , was also the symbol of the trade, the main activity
of the inhabitants of this area. In 1836, Braila was declared “porto-franco”. Here were opened the first Chamber of
Commercial Arbitration (1836), the Exchange of Goods and Cereals (1882), the Commercial Court and the Commercial
Bank. Due to its economical boom, Braila became one of the most important commercial centres of Romania. The
intensive trade and the industrial development during the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century marked
Braila’s history. In 1911, year of maximum commercial activity, Braila’s trade represented 22% of the Romanian trade
and 20% of import This development meant steam mills, pasta factory, shipyard (1864), beer factory (1872) and docks
(1883). The first foreign investment in Braila was done in 1924 – the Franco-Romanian Company. Between 1941-1944,
during the World War l, both the import and the export in Braila decreased, after the 12th General Congress of the
Romanian Cities’ Union from 1937, when it was reached the apogee. Braila’s history will dramatically change between
the two moments: the 23rd of August 1944 – the 22nd of December 1989.

Braila is not a museum – city, but its visitors can feel its magic, legends and history that are present everywhere.
After 2000, the results of a too ambitious, unrightfully and disproportioned industrial development appeared.
Many of the most important industrial units closed their doors partially or even totally. This fact led to the
depreciation of the living level and the city’s development, more than in the rest of the country.
If the accent in the economical life had been put on the port for centuries, during the next period, after the
Liberation, when the communist regime was installed, this accent was put on the industry: a strong one that will
become established through the machines and equipments’ construction, ship building, chemical industry, readymade clothes, food industry etc. Braila trade marks, as “Promex”, “Braiconf” have become well-known in the
country and abroad, making the county to be placed on the 9th position in the country, according to its
population and economy.
The climate is temperate-continental,
slightly excessive in the west and moderate in
the Siret Meadow and Braila’s Big Island.
Being situated close to the Black Sea, Braila
County has annual average temperatures of
over 10oC (1.5oC higher then the rest of the
plain). Annual rainfall is low (on average 4,651
l/sq m) and has a teeming character in
summer.

The underground resources include liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons; loess deposits constitute the raw
material for inferior ceramics. The water and mud of salty lakes have special therapeutic qualities, spas being
built nearby, but only that of Lacu Sarat is functioning at present. In Insuratei town, a thermal sulphurous
spring, with special therapeutic qualities, was properly fitted, having a flow rate of 280 cu m in 24 hours and an
exit temperature of 60o. The plain is the predominant relief form, Braila’s landscape being rather monotonous
and without any natural barriers.
Although forests occupy only a small part of the area of the
county (5.5%), most of them being meadow forests,
Viisoara and Camnita forests have been declared
reservations, the former for its 300 hectares which
represent the relic of oak forests from the right bank of the
Calmatui, and the latter, for its pure ash trees, spread on an
area of 1.3 ha. The flora and fauna are characteristic to
lowlands. The steppe, once stretching endlessly, was turned
into farmland, Braila County being one of the most
developed counties in Romania as concerns agriculture.
The tourist patrimony of Braila County comprises: historical, ethnographic and folkloric elements, Panait
Istrati Memorial House, “Nicapetre” Cultural Centre (the former House of Art Collections), the Museums of the
towns of Braila and Ianca, Blasova Creation Camp, the Art Galleries, ‘Pro Arts’ Hall, Braila Historical Centre,
“Petre Stefanescu Goanga” Memorial House.

Braila’s Small Island, a real inland delta, stretching on an area of 15,000 ha, was declared a mixed natural
reservation of flora and fauna. The geographical conditions allow the co-existence of three types of vegetation, specific to
the swamp, to the forest and to the steppe.
.Lake Jirlau (8.9 sq km) is known as an ornithological sanctuary, a fact for which it was mentioned, together with the
Danube Delta and other habitats all over the country, on the list of those 2440 aquatic fauna areas of European importance
“Important bird areas in Europe” published in 1989 in England.
On Braila’s Big Island, created by the drainage
of Braila’s Swamp, one can see “Popina Blasova”, a
proof of the herzynisch erosion of the Dobruja
Mountains, acknowledged in 1994 as a natural
monument, where two species of milfoil with yellow
flowers and a species of bell flower grow, being
specific to the Dobruja Mountains.

Even if it is not in an area with a maximum tourist importance, Braila county offers many possibilities for active
partnerships due to the natural resources, on one hand , and to the direct connection to the Danube, on the other hand.
Thus, there are considered as adequate:
► the extension and the modernization of the tourist structures in Lacu Sarat Resort
► giving the Caineni Bai resort, situated on the area of Visani commune, back to the tourist circuit;
► the integration in the tourist circuit of Movila Miresii Salt Lake, situated at 30 km away from Braila municipality,
close to the commune with the same name.
► the putting in good use of the thermal springs from the area of Insuratei town and Bertestii de Sus commune,
their water presenting therapeutical qualities similar to the ones from Herculane and Felix resorts.
Braila county has a special tourist potential that, if it is put in good use, may represent an important element of the
social-economical development of the county and of its contribution to the national tourism.

Related to the culture, Braila county has a network of specialized institutions. Thus, there are 215 libraries, 5 cultural
houses, 101 cultural institutions, 7 cinemas, 2 theatres and a musical institution.
The most important part in Braila’s cultural life is played by “Maria Filotti” Dramatic Theatre, “Carabus” Puppet
Theatre, the Vocational School and Braila History Museum , the last one having an impressive age of 125 years and an
impressive collection of historical and archaeological objects and being considered one of the greatest cultural institutions
from Romania.
“Maria Filotti Theatre is the most interesting cultural objective of the city. Built in the middle of the 19th century and
renovated in the 80 ‘s, the building stands out of the others through its architectonical value and the artistic embroidery of
the curtain, a real piece of art, considered unique in Europe, due to its style (beads and golden thread, representing the
sun and the moon, the laughter and the crying).The visitors can also see the huge painted-window from the monumental
hall of the building. On the other hand, the importance of this building was confirmed when the theatre was included in
the UNESCO album, together with the most representative buildings in Europe, destined to the human spirituality.
On the memory of the well-known soprano,
Hariclea Hartulary Darclée, beginning with August
1995, every year the International Canto Festival with
her name has been taking place at Braila.
A great interest in the cultural life of Braila is
presented by the “Panait Istrati Memorial Exhibition”,
opened in 1984, with the occasion of the centenary of
the famous writer’s birth, named “Gorki of the Balkans”
by Romain Rolland.

The “Saint Archangels Mihail and Gavriil” Curch with an age of
250 years, is a Turkish pray house turned into an Orthodox
Church, keeping its rectangular shape, reproducing the
Mohammedan mecet’s type.That is why it is one of the rare
European Orthodox churches without a derrick.

the old communion – is also in Braila municipality.

Agriculture and forestry
The agriculture, being considered the main support of welfare and economic growth, and also of exports increasing, as
well as the guarantor of the population's food necessary, occupies through tradition an important place in Braila County
economy. Braila's agriculture also represents the main way of improvement the life standard from the rural environment.
Through its agricultural potential (the existence of the biggest agricultural surface in Romania, situated in Braila Great
Island, with a land surface of 60,000 ha, entirely irrigated, and a number of 120 thousand bovines, 400 thousand ovines, 300
thousand swines and 2,5 million fowls, at least)
Braila County offers multiple investment opportunities:
Breeding . The production valorization is favourable, both on the internal and external market; Modern but unused buildings, in the
field of porcine and cow breeding, are another facility offered to the potential investors.
Horticulture development, mainly the ecological one. The establishment and the development of gross market for the
horticultural products represent another investment opportunity.
Restructuring and development of fishing activities . On the territory of the county there are many lakes and ponds that could be
rearranged as piscicultural exploitations: the seed beds Maxineni and Jirlau, the fish ponds Movila Miresii, Plopu, Gradistea, Vultureni,
Zavoaia, Batogu, Chioibasesti, Coltea and Tataru.
Vegetables, fruits, milk and cereals processing activities and the establishment of a terminal for cereals. The predominant
agrarian character of the county makes some activities to be extremely profitable. Briquetting of the waste cereals (their transforming into
a fuel with high caloric power)
Martie 2007
Consiliul Judetean Braila
Directia Strategii, Integrare Europeana, Relatii Internationale
The creation of small stocking and processing capacities for fodders
The breeding of exotic or rare birds and animals (pheasants, quails, ostriches). The experience of the last
years proved that exotic animals and birds can represent a profitable business in Braila county.
Silkworm breeding . The activity is extremely profitable, our county having an important tradition in the field.
However, this fact supposes the re-establishment of mulberry plantations necessary in the silkworm breeding on
the existing salt soils.
Mushrooms cultures. This product in fresh state is not sufficient on the market; the demand being partially
covered, at high prices. That's why the construction of a mushroom farm is welcome.
Establishment of hot houses for vegetables and flowers. The valorization of the thermal springs and of other
thermal sources may have favourable results in this domain, as well as in possible tourist investments.

Braila County, having the following purposes: fish breeding in natural environment; ► sports fishing; ► nautical pleasure; ► hunting.
The land will be divided in lots of 1000 square meters, which will not be granted, and from the due obtained from the grants payment, Braila County
Council will retrieve the expenses made with the mentioned endowments
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The unicity of the proposed area consists in the natural beauty generated by the existence of a meandre lake with the
specific flora and fauna. Although, Blasova lake and surroundings (Blasova hill) have natural potential for the developing of the fishing, hunting and
nautical sports activities (especially canoeing). The project will answer to the following identified needs: - high degradation of the access road ; - old and
low capacity urban infrastructure ; - lack of the arrangements and modern endowments for fishing and nautical sports . The projects idea is based on the
fact that the surrounding area of the Zaton lake (684,87 hectares) has been passed in the public propriety of the Braila County Council by HG
2118/9.12.2004, so now is possible to rehabilitate the infrastructure.
THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

in Blasova resort area.
Objectives:
the development of the Braila touristic potential, based on the existent natural resources, through the environment conservation ;

recreation ) ;
employment, improvement and diversification of the labor on specific domains;
achieving of the generating profit centers in order to contribute for the ulterior development ;
integration in the protection and monitoring system for the Danube course from the mint through the flowing into the Black Sea.
achievement of the access infrastructure and the of the utilities network (access roads 9 km, ) on the route DC 59, access roads in the
interior of the resort, alleys, water supply system, sewage, electrical power, communications
putting of the fishing pontoons;
-landing fittings;
-camping platform arranging and recreation area.
EXPECTED RESULTS: The project is oriented on developing the touristic component of Braila’s economy and also on the regional
component. Various recreation possibilities - sports and fishing activities, could stimulate and attract various economic agents with

modern ones such as: a presentation web on the Internet, the presentation of the resort’s programmes in the tourist agencies’ offer,
able to make them known at the tourist exhibitions and fairs, the spreading of promotional materials presenting the resort’s offer of
tourist services and baleary treatment in the Health County Institutions, the promotion of the resort made by the Chamber of Commerce,
Industry and Agriculture Braila during the business visits organised both in the country and abroad.
