Founded in the 7th century BCE by the Dacians, Tulcea (or Aegyssus, as the city was known in antiquity) was conquered by the Romans who rebuilt it after their plans, their technique and architectural vision. The town was then successively under Byzantine, Genoese, and Ottoman rule before finally being reunited with Romania in 1878. It is well-known for being the 'Gateway to the Danube Delta'. There is a Danube Delta History Museum in town, and the Delta itself is a protected wetland that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
