History lovers and people looking for unique places can find in the courtyard of the Boian Plain Museum in Drăgăneşti-Olt a unique place in Romania and even in Europe, as Professor Traian Zorozoliu argues in the form of a Neolithic outdoors settlement , specifies the ancient culture Gumelniţa.
„It is fascinating for anyone in the country, whether or not to be in love with history, to enter into a village of 4,500 years old, which is the only village of its kind in Romania and Europe at the same time. 24 European countries have come and said it is the most successful reconstruction If we had bigger spaces I could have done more. But it is a beautiful building because here you can walk and discover another world, another way of interior design, a different lifestyle, „says Professor Zorzoliu, director of the Boian Plain Museum in Drăgăneşti-Olt, about the archaeological park he created four years ago.
The Neolithic Archaeological Park of the Drăgăneşti-Olt Museum Complex was opened in 2010. The Neolithic Village is made up of six real-sized huts built in open space on a surface surrounded by a defense ditch and a wicker fence. Access to the village is done on a narrow bridge. Inside the huts there are tools used in the Neolithic trades, such as fishing, agriculture, ceramics and hunting.
The history of the fortress dates back to Roman times, from the time of Emperor Trajan.
During the reign of Mircea the Elder (1386-1393), Turris fortress played a major role in the defensive system of Wallachia. The site was an important pillar of the fortress system that the King raised as a shield against the Turkish threat south of the Danube.
Historians talk about the king’s plan to lift a strong chain of fortresses on the Danube bank to defend against the Turks. In Teleorman, Mircea the Elder wanted to fortify the system, and besides the fortress of Turnu, two other fortresses were built in Frumoasa and Zimnicea.
The ruins of Turris are loaded with history and legends. It is said that under the gate of the fortress there was a tunnel leading to the other side of the Danube. Legend says that through this tunnel, the Romanian landowners fled the invaders across the Danube, where they kept their fortune. This legend is challenged by historians. Archaeologists who have carried out research at the Turnu fortress have not found any evidence over the years to support the legend of the tunnel.
