Giurgiu
Giurgiu County and the suroounding areas are the palce where Vlad Tepes fighted with the Ottoman Army in 1462 (the sultans’s messanger was caught here and killed, and the fortress was conquered and burnt). The fortress from the islet mentioned by the chronicles was built in the end of the 14th century. Its ruins can be seen even today.
