Hello. My name is Nina and I'm from Romania.
My hometown is Brăila.Brăila is a municipality of Romania and has
215. 316 unhabitants. It is an important port
on the Danube.The city was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire
from about 1540 until 1829, when it was returned to
the Principality of Wallachia.
In the 19th century it was one of the three most
important Danubian ports of Wallachia.
The heyday was reached in the late 19th and early
20th centuries.In the historic centre there are many 19th century
buildings, many of them recently renovated. Among
the most important:
-The Greek Orthodox Church, built by the local Greek
community in 1865
-The Church of the Holy Archangels
-The Church of Saint Nicholas
-The teather Maria Filotti
-The Palace of culture, inside which there is a Museum
of fine arts.
-The old water tower. The typical dish
of Romania are
"Sarmale". That
