#MustSeeAtHome. #cooltural tour for a city break in Dolj
Summer is splendid in Dolj, and if you come to us, you don't have to limit your visit to just a few sights. We propose you a #cooltural tour in the most important places where it would be good to arrive at least for once in our county, from the capital Craiova, but also from the communes with better told stories, now, after their value has been recognized and shared with the world, through investment and care. Reserve a few days, as you need time to enjoy it all!
Tour of museums in Craiova
The Art Museum, the Oltenia Museum with its three sections (History-Archaeology, Ethnography - Casa Băniei and Natural Sciences), the Book and Romanian Exile Museum, but also the "Constantin Brâncusi" Center, located within the Art Museum, are real jewels architectural, but also sources of knowledge through which you can learn a lot about us, the people of Dolj. We have a superb county capital, which represented and still is a spearhead in Romanian culture and beyond, through the legacies left by all those who left here to change the world. You can get to know us through our writers, through our visual artists, through our traditions and customs, but also through the flora, fauna and ecosystems that characterize our area. Don't miss these attractions that will bring you even closer to who we are!
The parks of Craiova
We enjoy, in Craiova, a lot of beautiful green areas, constantly cared for and enhanced for residents and tourists. The "Nicolae Romanescu" Park, the Youth Park, the Fantasy Park, the Botanical Garden or the Pedagogical Park are just some of the green areas that you must visit during your stay in Dolj. In addition, we also tell you that our forests, true oases of greenery, undisturbed by noise and commotion, can be true oases of peace and spiritual charge!
Cernătești and Izvoranu-Geblescu Towers
The towers of Dolj, used in the past by the boyars for surveillance and defence, were rehabilitated by the county authorities and also turned into museum points. They are true fountains of knowledge and time machines, which carry us into our history, in the most honest and natural way, through the testimonies of the objects of past times. Their historical importance and their appreciation allow you, today, to get to know details about us, the people of Dolj, that will surely surprise you! The love for rural places has made the Cernătești commune, therefore also the Cula Cernătești, a perfect host for the "Film in Sat" Arts Festival, which is preparing for the third consecutive edition in 2025!
"Amza Pellea" Memorial House
We are grateful that someone from above, there, decided that the great actor Amza Pellea should be born in our county, in the city of Băilești. And our favourite has his memory honoured, now, through a memorial house renovated and set up as a modern museum, where his memories, cared for by his daughter, Oana Pellea, tell his story best. We recommend you, therefore, to go to Băilești and do not hesitate to fully taste the local hospitality of the cheerful people of Dolj, who know how to enjoy beauty, live and be welcoming and warm hosts.
