Independence Monument & Hora Hill, Tulcea
Monumentul Independenței
An obelisk monument on high ground east of Tulcea. Nearby are the remains of Aegyssus, an ancient fortress town, and there are views over the Danube and the city.
The monument was built in 1904 to commemorate the reunification of Northern Dobruja with Romania. Within Hora Hill Park, where it stands, are the city walls of Aegyssus, a Roman-Byzantine fortress, and a small archaeological history museum. The uphill walk from the riverside promenade takes about 15 minutes. Entry is free, and at sunset you can watch the Danube from here.
