County Giurgiu is in the Muntenia region

Giurgiu in County Giurgiu

Giurgiu (Bulgarian: Гюргево (Gyurgevo); Genoese: San Giorgio; Turkish: Yerköy or Yergöğü) is the capital city of Giurgiu County, Romania in the region once called Vlaşca.

It is situated amid mud-flats and marshes on the left bank of the Danube. Three small islands face the city, and a larger one shelters its port, Smarda. The rich corn-lands on North are traversed by a railway to Bucharest, the first line opened in Romania, which was built in 1869 and afterwards extended to Smarda.

 

The Giurgiu-Ruse Friendship Bridge, the only one in the shared Bulgarian-Romanian section of the Danube, crosses the river nearby.

Early Giurgiu History

Giurgiu Train Station

 

The area around Giurgiu was densely populated in the time of the Dacians as archeological evidence shows and even the capital of Burebista was in this area (it is thought to be in Popeşti on the Argeş river). During the Roman times this was the site of Theodorapolis, a city built by the Roman emperor Justinian (483-565).

The city of Giurgiu was probably established in the 14th century as a port on the Danube by the Genoese merchant adventurers, who established a bank, and a trade in silks and velvets. They called the city, after the patron saint of Genoa, San Giorgio (St George); and hence comes its present name. It was first mentioned in Codex Latinus Parisinus, in 1395 during the reign of Mircea cel Bătrân and was conquered by the Ottomans in 1420 as a way to control the Danube traffic.
As a fortified city, Giurgiu figured often in the wars for the conquest of the lower Danube; especially in the struggle of Mihai Viteazul (1593-1601) against the Turks, and in the later Russo-Turkish Wars. It was burned in 1659. In 1829, its fortifications were finally razed, the only defence left being a castle on the island of Slobozia, united to the shore by a bridge.
