Avramide House is a component of the Northern Dobrogean Cultural Heritage Museum Complex that belongs to the "Gavrilă Simion" Tulcea Eco-Museum Research Institute.
This superb house, known among Tulceni as the House of Collections, was built at the end of the 19th century by Alexandru Avramide, of Greek ethnicity. This was a prosperous local entrepreneur, who owned several mills, workshops, various commercial premises, a sawmill, but also several agricultural areas. Alexandru Avramide is known to have arrived in the city of Tulcea in the middle of the 19th century, driven by a strong ambition and tenacity, which would later make him one of the richest people in the entire region.
Around 1890, Avramide managed to bring two Italian craftsmen to the area, to whom he entrusted everything necessary to build the house he dreamed of as a symbol of the family's prosperity. From that moment and until the edifice became the most beautiful construction in the city, not much time passed. Located right in the center of the city of Tulcea, right next to the Church of Saint Nicholas, the house, considered luxurious, stood out especially for the rooms on the lower level. They are decorated with painted stucco, painted ceilings and benefit from doors in two wings, two main facades, and on one of them you can see an imposing staircase made of marble mosaic.
After 1944, the house was transformed into the headquarters of the Greek Democratic Committee, and on November 14, 1949, the act was signed that created the "Danube Delta" Museum, which was officially opened only on May 1, 1950 The museum occupied two rooms in the entire building and had 872 complementary materials or objects in its heritage. Between 1952-1953, the School Inspectorate of Tulcea county carried out its activity in the same building. Because it was only in 1957 that the first reorganizations of the museum took place. From 1959, a special department of archeology and ethnography operated at the site of the building, but it was closed in 1962. Since 1964, when the aquarium tanks were built at the site of the building, together with the addition of a collection consisting of 1500 biological pieces , plus a voluminous herbarium, the house functioned in its complexity as a natural science museum.
Recently the edifice was rehabilitated through a project called "Restoration and Rehabilitation of two heritage buildings from the municipality of Tulcea included in the regional tourist circuits" offering today, through a modern exhibition, the main historical elements of the city of Tulcea, but also of the family Avramides. Also here, various heritage objects from the collections of the Eco-Museum Research Institute "Gavilă Simion" Tulcea are perfectly displayed.

Casa Borș is located in the historical area of the city, a few steps from the "St. Nicolae" Cathedral, the "Jean Bart" Theater, the Avramide House and other heritage buildings.
Ștefan Borș, the former owner of this beautiful house, built in 1905 and recently rehabilitated, was born in 1858 in Neamț. After graduating from higher education in Bucharest, he returned to his native county where he began his professional activity as a copyist in the Piatra-Neamț public works constituency office. In 1883, as a young engineer and entrepreneur, he carried out various infrastructure works in Iasi.
Fate made him move to Tulcea at the age of 26, in 1884, taking over the management of the County Technical Service, an institution he managed professionally for four years. Six years later, in 1894, at the age of 36, he became the mayor of the municipality of Tulcea; likewise in 1906 and 1911. His political career continued as a senator in the Romanian Parliament.
In the 43 years spent here, as an entrepreneur, engineer or politician, 14 schools, 12 churches, 3 barracks, 3 hospitals, a theater, a conference hall and the Fishery Palace were built in Tulcea through his direct involvement. He also rehabilitated the Administrative Palace, the former Pasha Mansion and the current Art Museum, completed the city cadastre, connected the population to the water and electricity network, built streets with paved sidewalks and much more.
Ștefan Borș died on June 7, 1928, when the city was in full preparation for the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Dobrogea by the Romanian state. He is buried in the Eternitatea Cemetery in Tulcea alongside his first wife and one of the seven children he had.
It is said that he lived in this beautiful building until 1921 when he sold the property to Banca Dunărea. From 1968, the building became the headquarters of the Tulcea Garrison Command, or the Army House as it was known by all Tulcea residents. The building has been recently rehabilitated and is worth admiring, even if it cannot be visited.

The Swiss House in Tulcea is the former headquarters of the Austrian Consulate, mentioned as such in 1864, being built on 9 Mai street (formerly Paul Stătescu). It is extremely different in the landscape of the place, unique in the entire Tulcean landscape with its architecture that recalls both German and Dobrogean specifics. Unfortunately, the building is today in an advanced state of disrepair. But it is worth mentioning to make you aware of how different and cosmopolitan Tulcea was once.

“I am happy that I can leave behind memories related to my work as a teacher, as a supporter of the cultural life of Tulcea and especially as a creative one. My drawings, lithographs and watercolors, the result of more than five decades of work, constitute the gift I leave, out of love, respect and gratitude to the places and people of Tulcea, among whom I lived with my loved ones.” wrote the artist Constantin Găvenea in his autobiography, published in 1988 and entitled “Days Lived with Moments of Sadness”.
The building that today houses the “Constantin Găvenea” Memorial House was built in the first decades of the 20th century. The Tulcea artist lived in this house since the fall of 1942, following his detachment from the town of Sarichioi, settling in the city of Tulcea with his family.
The house, restored by the Tulcea City Hall, contains five exhibition halls (a hall and four rooms), as well as the master's workshop in the courtyard of the house. Personal objects, manuscripts, books and albums with dedications, photographs, original documents and photocopies are exhibited, all closely related to the life and work of Constantin Găvenea. There are also lithographs, paintings and watercolors executed by the artist in all stages of his creation.
The establishment of the Constantin Găvenea Memorial House is considered a tribute to the Great Man, as an example worthy of imitation, a symbolic character of this North-Dobrudzian land that we can be proud of in front of the whole of Europe.

Located in the immediate vicinity of the Ali-Gazi-Pasa Glass, the Panaghia House is built in the architectural style of the old Babadag.
The oriental art exhibition organized in Casa Panaghia presents pieces belonging to the traditional folk art of the Turks and Tatars of Dobrogea, but also pieces belonging to oriental art made in manufactures and, later, industrially.
The folk art of the Turks and Tatars of Dobrogea (fabrics, embroideries, clothing, ornaments, copper vessels for everyday use and for various ceremonies) reflects its oriental origins. Certain features of this art reveal, however, interference with the art of the autochthonous population of the Balkan Peninsula and Dobrogea.
The typically oriental ornamental motifs: the carnation, the cypress, the hyacinth, the pomegranate fruit, etc., complemented by the gold and silver metallic thread, are combined in chromatic and decorative compositions of great aesthetic value.
It is worth stopping and visiting this place. The visit fee is 10 lei/adult and 5 lei/pupil/student/pensioner. The museum can be visited from Wednesday to Thursday, between 10:00 and 18:00.

Located on Isaccei Street, in the central area of the city, unfortunately, the House of Culture of the Trade Unions in Tulcea Municipality has not been dedicated only to culture and arts for some time. It is an institution that operates in one of the most important buildings in the city and which, although it was not intended for this purpose by construction, rents its premises to bars, shops, travel agencies and many others. As Tulceni, we hope that this building will also be renovated in the near future and reorganized into something much more beneficial both for the local community and possibly for tourists.

The Medieval Citadel of Enisala is located 2 km from the town of the same name, on a limestone hill that dominates the Razim and Babadag lakes area. It was built in the second half of the 14th century, for military purposes, most likely by the Genoese merchants, owners of the Black Sea navigation monopoly.
The fortress has an irregular polygonal plan, which follows the sinuosity of the terrain; the walls and bastions are preserved in some places at a height of 5-10 m. Integrated, during the reign of Mircea the Elder, into the defensive system of Wallachia, the fortress was abandoned in the context of the advance of Turkish rule north of the mouth of the Danube (end of the .XV) and as a result of the formation of the sand ridges that separate the Razim lake from the Black Sea.
In addition to visiting the fortress, it is also worth coming here to enjoy one of the most beautiful views in the entire Tulcea county, especially at sunset.

In 1931, the building of the Select Cinema was built on Carol street (currently Strada Gării), according to the plans of the architect G. Alois from Galati, the property of the Scultety brothers in association with the merchant David Feimblat. In 1935, the cinema becomes entirely the business of the Scultety family, through the withdrawal of the partner, who sells his share for the sum of 800 lei. To put the cinema into operation, all the equipment was purchased from the company "S.A. Siewens & Shuckert", the representation of the company "Klang film" in Berlin.
The cinema, which had a capacity of 600 seats, was operated by the Scultety brothers even after the nationalization in 1948, through a contract concluded with the town hall. Affected by the earthquake of 1977, the cinema building, renamed "7 Noiembrie", was repaired, during which several changes were made which reduced the number of seats to 380. At the same time, the entrance was moved to the opposite side , on Isaccei street, which had become the central artery of the city. In 1990, the name "Select" was restored. This is where the Oblivion Club currently operates.
