Schela Cladovei

During the early Middle Ages, the Iron Gates region continued to be an important area of economic and major strategic interests. It was for more than once that political interests prevailed in front of the economical ones.

Favourable conditions such as climate, soil, vegetation or food turned our town into the cradle of the oldest settlement known in Europe.

Situated on the Danube, the 9,000 year old western residential district of the town, known as Schela Cladovei, has been under the investigation of archeologists for the last 36 years.
