Portuguese.

• Just out of curiosity: in the past Galati was known as thecity of lindens, thanks to the many linden trees along itsstreets; indeed, if you pay careful attention (and you are notallergic), in spring the perfume of those trees is stilldistinguishable.





Galati History is related to an important figure in the Romanian history, the great ruler

Alexandru Ioan Cuza, whose reign over both Moldavia and the Romanian County led to the

unifications of these two lands and to the creation of the later country Romania.

From this moment on the city went through different periods of evolution and then decade, but

the most atrocious period was represented by World War II when the entire historic center of the town

was destroyed.



The town's industry consists mainly of iron-and steel processing and shipbuilding. Galati

occupies the first place in the national iron smelting production and is the biggest Romanian center

for metal processing industry.

With over 100 years of history, the shipyard of Galati is the oldest in Romania. Other

industrial branches (food-and beverage industry, textiles) are also very well represented in the city
