This is the route to Calarasi for the advanced ones, being longer, about 55 km.
At a professional level, it is a fairly easy route, a relaxing tour in the middle of nature, on the banks of the Borcea arm and the banks of the Danube.
We pass by the ferry from Călăraşi to the Great Beach and from here we practically take a detour to the island, going to the beach and the dam, along the DN3B, on the bank of the Borcea arm. We pass by the Magureni neighborhood, Modelu villages, Roseti, Coslogeni and Dichiseni villages, and right next to Satnoieni village, we turn to the Great Plate of Calarasi on the Danube bank this time.
The Călăraşi Municipal Museum is located in the old headquarters of the City Hall. The building was built for this administrative destination in the years 1886-1887 and therefore, in early January 1888, the institution began its activity in a new building.
From an exhibition point of view, the museum chronologically follows the history of Calarasi localities, starting with the presentation of the archaeological discoveries, mentioning the first documentary references, presenting the moment of the change of status (1833 – the capital of the county) and the moment of liberation (1852), but also the moment when the whole a Romanian people passed through difficult moments (war of independence, World War I and World War II), ending with the Communist period and the contemporary period.
The exhibition space dedicated to the aforementioned is located on the ground floor of the building, in 8 rooms which are technically arranged museum. Upstairs, the building has exhibit activities as well as creative activities.
The museum is listed on the Historical Monuments List.
The church is built of brick, on a strong foundation; has the shape of a 29 m long shop, 10.5 m wide and 21 m high, with two smaller apses, and the altar apse is larger in semicircular shape.
The church portal is rectangular, open and delimited by four round shaped supports. In the nave and in the narthex, the ceiling is straight and is supported on two rows of supports, five of which are in round shape, in beautiful letters, which remind us of the birth of Bethlehem’s church.
The church has two domes, one is open and the other closed, the latter serving as the tower of the church where the two bells are installed. The roof and the domes are covered with galvanized sheets.
The painting of the church, made in oil and in a realistic style, has a great artistic value, being executed in 1908 by the Italian painter Orest Cantini. The altar screen and the two episcopal chairs, of special nobility, are made of oak wood by the sculptor M. Babic in 1908. The emperor’s icons, the icons of the Holy Holder and Saint John the Baptist on the altar screen, are chained together with silver , having a spectacular work.
The congregation has a functional parish library. The congregation organizes parochial activities with church attendees as well as parish students.
