The Fire Brigade Headquarters

,,Baia Comunala" (the Communal Baths) was erected in 1907 with a view to the urban settlement and the inhabitants' health. It became the Firebrigade Headquarters and today it is a representative building for the early 20th century architecture of  our town. Larger towns or cities in Romania could not take pride in such buildings at that time.

As there are not too many buildings erected at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the town officials have permanently been concerned with preserving them.

The CAROL I Boulevard

This could be the reason why Calea Traian (Traian Street), the former commercial thoroughfare of the town, together with the area surrounding the Central Park are packed with building in the neoclassical style.

  The Hydroelectric Power System of the Iron Gates (SHNPF)

The local officials bestowed particular attention to the lighting of the town by introducing street lamp lighting in 1850 and later, the electricity produced by the power plant located in the public gardens (1907).

Today, the kilowatts are pumped by the power giant from Gura-Vaii. Built as a result of the cooperation between Romania and neighboring Yugoslavia, it has an installed capacity of 2,050 Mw, half of which belongs to the Romanian party.

The development of the town as well as the prosperity of its inhabitants is due to the setting up of the port (1851) and of the ship repair shop (1858) which was the first in our country and became the centre of the future shipyard which was to become the most important one in the 1914 Romania and one of the most significant shipyards on the Danube.
