The Danube watches over us all, with love from Sulina!
Guarded by four lighthouses, Sulina, documented since the 10th century, tells its story at the easternmost point of the country, rocked by the waters of the Danube carving their path to the sea.
A meeting between the archaic and the modern, the historic buildings – the Palace of the European Commission of the Danube, the Old Lighthouse, the cosmopolitan cemetery – preserve the remnants of a world long vanished, once populated with pirates, fishermen, sailors, ship captains, and residents who spoke all the languages of the Earth, the private exhibition ‘Old Sulina’ with maps and objects of a bygone world, Liviu Simioncencu’s Workshop – a local photographer, a faithful follower of the river through his lens since he was 16, the wild beaches, free horses, the biodiversity of the Delta, the maze of channels, make Sulina a unique destination.
Where pelicans and seagulls spread their wings, where reeds, bulrushes, water lilies, and dense sacks are caressed by the wind, ‘where the old Danube loses both its water and its name in the Sea’ (Jean Bart), we await you at the second edition #cleanwaters Danube Festival between September 12th and 14th.
