Galati:
On the banks of the Danube near the confluence of the Prut, Siret, and Danube rivers, Galati is only outranked by Constanta as Romania's biggest port.
Galati has a fine 17th century Eastern Orthodox cathedral - St. George (Sfântu Gheorghe), and another particularly striking fortified church (that of St. Mary - Sf. Precista) on the banks of the Danube (legend has it that a tunnel was dug from the church and under the river).
Other features of the city include a sculpture park, a botanical garden, several museums, and a television tower opened to the public and offering full view of the city, the newly-restored Galati Opera House, and a promenade of several kilometers along the banks of the Danube (huge sculptures are placed on either side of the road).
Being at the convergence of 3 major rivers, 3 countries, and 3 regions of Romania, Galati is a bit of a transportation hub.
